Heusden, we have no problem


We were heading for 's Hertogenbosch today when I noticed that this little village where the River from the Merwede joins the Maas looked interesting and sure, enough it was mentioned in the guidebook. So after no problems on the big river and a very relaxing cruise on the smaller one we motored into the old harbor about 2:30, and they even kept the market going for us. Heusden is a very charming little village with enormous fortifications that have been restored, at least to the outlines, surrounded by moats. The houses are all in mint condition and very interesting. Armida is tucked into the old harbour that is entered through a deep and narrow opening under a rickety old bridge beside two unique windmills. A beer and some fries in the café on the square and there are no problems at all.
