The 'racetrack of Veere' is a nice road indeed. I did not race there but I
enjoyed riding the twisty road.
My plan ws to park the bike on the same spot behind the dike where I was a
few weeks ago, near the big old church, but unfortunately all the streets
leading to it were closed for traffic and only the big parking in front of
the dike was accessible.
I went there and climbed the dike to take a picture of Veere's church and
after that, I left Veere, also because I thought it was too busy here anyway.

In the meantime I was getting hungry. I was actually planning to eat
something in Veere but obviously that did not happen. So I went back over
'the circuit' and programmed Domburg in the Tomtom as my next destination.
On my way to Domburg I passed through the village Oostkapelle and there I
mnoticed 'De babbelaar', a restaurant and cafeteria next to the church.
At the cafeteria I ordered a croquette sandwich and a cup of coffee and
enjoyed eating it on the terrace.
Before I could order I had to declare that I didn't have any covid-19
symtoms and I had to fill out a form with my name and contact information.

Eventually, after riding through Domburg, I arrived in Westkapelle. Riding
through Oostkapelle and Domburg and other villages driving is very slow.
First, you are only allowed thirty kilometers an hour and more, it is very
busy with walkers, cyclists and cars.
But the countryroads between the villages are nice !

In Westkapelle I parked the BMW at the 'Polderhuis Westkapelle Dijk- en
War Museum'. It is a museum about the history of the Westkappelse Zeedijk
and the events in Westkapelle during the Second World War.
I did not visit the museum itself, but I climbed the dike to admire the
view over Westkapelle and to take a look at the tank on top of the dike.

After enjoying the view for a while, I started the bike up again and used
the Tomtom to navigate to a small village called 's Heerenhoek using as
much winding roads as possible.
The first part of the trip was no so good because I had to go through
Middelburg, a bigger city with a lot of traffic (and traffic lights) and
moreover there was a diversion that had me ride along the city canal.
It was cice to see but I did not want to ride in the busy traffic in
Middelburg!

After I finaly left Middelburg, the road became more interesting and I
came to a road that ran parallel to the main road along the Vlissingen
port area. There was just a dike in between. So I climbed the dike to
take a picture of the oil rigs (or something like that) in the port area.

In 's Heerenhoek, the Tomtom sent me to the square in front of the very
beautiful church. After I took a photo of this church. I entered 'Motoport
Goes' in the Tomtom as my next destination.

Via some very nice country roads, I arrived back in Goes at the motorcycle
shop.
This time I did not stop at the shop but I drove straight away, via the
secondary road until the roundabout at Rilland. Then I went along the
industrial area through the polder to Ossendrecht where I stopped at
Motorservice Ossendrecht to talk with John, the owner, about a bike for
my son Vincent, who hopes to have his motorcycle license soon.
After about 235 kilometers I put the BMW back in the garage. The RAM-mount
of the camera on the handlebars worked well and I am getting used to the
big Givi top case so I am satisfied with the way my bike is set up now.
