Zeeland and Beyond. Epilogue: A Tale of Two Towns

Middelharnis is a nice, small town with a no-frills yacht harbour smack in the town-centre. The harbourmaster directed us to a place right in front of his office, so he can keep an eye on Mekicevica while we are away.
All we had to do, was tidy-up and go and get the car. Err, where was that car park again?
As it turns-out there are two neighbouring towns: Middelharnis, which is an old town, and Sommelsdijk which is mostly modern and planned to have the same structure as Middelharnis, town-centre harbour and crazy one-way system included. Without realising it, I had left the car in Sommelsdijk, not Middelharnis.
So it came that to compensate for three days mostly siting in a boat, I finished the weekend with a jog to go and find the car.
Mekicevica will have a rest in Middelharnis for two weeks. Next trip: round tour of the Haringvliet, exploring the interesting towns around. Hopefully in nice weather.
