The usual route through Brielle back to Europoort. After years of alternating between “German” and “French” pronunciations I have finally discovered how to pronounce it as the Dutch do. This time I visited St Catherine’s Church: I was drawn there by wondering if it was unfinished or half-demolished (the former). I was rewarded for my curiosity by discovering that from the church tower the future Mary II waved off her husband, the future William III, as he set off to overthrow James II. (Sadly, time did not allow me to retrace her steps.)
