Between 2 Harbors

Description

After the winter rest, I looked forward to a big cycling trip. For a long time, I wanted to see Terneuzen.

I departed from Bassevelde, cycling a lot along the dikes through the polders: Sint Joris polder, Rode polder... What was nice was that there were regularly info boards about WWII, the polders themselves, and you could also see when the polder was exactly diked, usually in the 16th century.

Along Ertvelde, I ended up in the port of Ghent to take a large ferry. A bit further, I passed by Wachtebeke, also a very beautiful area with many meadows and forests. I will come back here too.

In the Netherlands, there are again the very cozy villages. In Terneuzen, I cycled another stretch along the Westerschelde, with a lovely view and saw many large ships. Then I headed back inland to Philippine, known as the mussel town. I then cycled a bit more through the polders back to Bassevelde. It was a beautiful, varied cycling trip.
