Wednesday 8th May – To Gouda

We left Willemstad in sunshine and sailed with the bimini up …

… overtaken by large container barges …



… under road and railway bridges, which had to open for us …

… past the city of Dordrecht …

… through more opening bridges …

…and a flood barrier …

… and tied up under a tree in the centre of Gouda.

Gouda is an attractive little town with many pretty canals …

 … and an impressive Town Hall in the busy central square, which had a ceramics market and competition going on.

No cheese market today, though, so we just had to buy some gouda in a cheese emporium!
