This is Friesland | THE NETHERLANDS

The Netherlands has 12 provinces, and today we are visiting Friesland, one of the most northern provinces.
While we’ve lived in the Netherlands for over 5 years, it’s rare that we are tourists in our home country. Although in Friesland it almost felt like we were in a different country, because they speak a completely different language: Frisian! It’s closer to Old English than to Dutch.
We explore Leeuwarden, the capital of Friesland, Natural Parks and the Wadden Sea!

Great episode about our beautiful province! There is so much more to see and do. Next time, be sure to visit Dokkum (beautiful fortified small city), the forests around Bakkeveen (De Slotplaats), or one of the Wadden islands. My favorite is Ameland, but all of them are totally worth it! Welcome back.

[@dravisandanna]

Thanks for these tips! We are very eager to visit one of the Waddeneilanden and we'll keep Ameland in mind😊

A translation of the first two couplets of the poem:
Along with the music
When melodies no longer come to mind
Eyes keep on searching in the dark
Tinnitus plagues eardrums
Would you be mij tambour-metre?
Then we’ll walk with high knees the stride (does not really make sense to me)
on the back roads of Methusalem
Take me along the canals
where we have fished, swam
Sun scorched our backs without noticing
Where we would raid duck’s nests in the reeds
Slapped wet socks against the fence
Startled by cattle stomping in the pasture
I'm sure somebody else can do better, poetically, but this is in essence what it says.

[@dravisandanna]

Thanks for taking the time to translate this for us! Interesting!

[@driester70]

Thank you for showing my home Province. You present it in a beautiful, serene way. 👌👍

[@dravisandanna]

@driester70 Thanks for watching! Glad you liked it :)

[@driester70]

If you want to visit the wadden in the future I would recommend a sailing trip with a boat that can dry out (droogvallen). Don't forget to bring binoculars and a bird book.
