s'Hertogenbosch is an interesting city and we make full use of the free three day mooring. The architecture is a mix of old, well preserved and innovative new buildings. We swelter in a heatwave but find enough shade to complete the walk around the Vauban fortifications on the edge of the city.

Proof that we are now in the Netherlands! There are many differences with Belgium, this being one of them. The waterways here are abundant, busy with commercials and hundreds of cruisers and the locks are easy and efficient to use.
