After three nights in Alblasserdam, we changed our accommodations and drove to Dirksland on the Goeree-Overflakkee peninsula in South Holland.

We can also highly recommend the B&B there. It's a tiny house in the owners' garden. onderdevlier.nl

Our first tour took us to the dunes of Goeree, right on the North Sea coast.
