Middelburg Vacation Guide
Middelburg is a real great city with much history. It lies in "zeeland" a province of the Netherlands. It is officially the capital of the province. With car you can get there, by boat, by train you can, it rides every half hour.
Middelburg has a great amount of historic buildings in the city. The "lange Jan" the church tower you can see from far, the old monaestry, and the roosevelt academy building, build in the 17th century. It also kept much traditions such as the 'ringrijden'an old custom where people in historic outfits with horses try to stick a spear into a ring above, always a great event to see.
A less nice thing about Middelburg is that is are actually two city's. In the summer it is like being in a big tourist attraction, the whole city is completeley filled with especially german tourist. In winter it is quite empty and a very peacefull city. As it is quite close to the sea, it's good to combine with a day on the beach. Nearby city are Vlissingen and Goes.

Vanmorgen werden we om een uur of acht wakker. Dat was lekker op tijd, want om 8.30 uur zou de ontbijtzaal open gaan. Gelukkig kwamen we er op tijd achter dat de klok een uur teruggezet had moeten worden de afgelopen nacht, anders hadden we toch mooi een uur te vroeg geweest. Eenmaal aan het ontbij…
