Zeeland Bridge (Backblip)

On our way home from Zeeland we had two stops en route. In the main blip is the Zeeland Bridge. The bridge spans the Eastern Scheldt estuary. It connects the islands of Schouwen-Duiveland and Noord-Beveland in the province of Zeeland.
The Zeeland Bridge was built between 1963 and 1965. It was inaugurated on 15 December 1965 by Queen Juliana of the Netherlands , and was originally called Eastern Scheldt Bridge (Dutch: : Oosterscheldebrug) before being renamed the Zealand Bridge on 13 April 1967. At the time of its completion, it was the longest bridge in Europe. It has a total length of 5,022 metres.

Second stop was in a little town, Dreischor. One of the few towns in the Netherlands to have the town square circlng the church in the middle. We struck lucky, because the door was open en we were able to have a look inside as well.
