I had only seen Zierikzee while passing-by on one of my long bike rides, but I marked it as an interesting town worth visiting. It turned-out to be much better than that.

This beautiful town excels at keeping a low profile, true to Calvinist values. The architecture betrays the affluence of this town during the Golden Age. Sadly, it was very hardly hit by the 1952 floods. Everyone in this town must understand the meaning of "The Lord giveth and the Lotd taketh away."

Apart from that, Zierikzee is a popular yachting destination. The gin-palaces around would not have been out of place in Hvar or St. Tropez. In the morning I was told-off by the harbour-master for being only the 4th on a raft, while bigger yachts had to raft seven-aside!
