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 video, but did you know you can also explore De Alde Feanen by water(or even better in my opinion compared to by land) ? You can rent small motorised boats there for one or more days (because inside the park are a lot of small islands where you can set up a tent to spend the night). Maybe an idea for the next time you guys visit the province.

a few years ago travel planet said it is a must visit location and a unknown pearl, wich made me happy and proud being a Frisian.

I used ChatGPT to translate it for you (although I'm Frisian, it's not the type of Frisian we speak nowadays): With the music along as melodies no longer shoot within eyes keep touching in the dark tinnitus plagues eardrums if you then want to be my drum meter then we walk with high knees in sync over the inner paths of Methuselah take me along the canals where we fish, swim sun without arch our rain scorched where we robbed nests in the reeds wet socks clattering against the fence startled by stampede in the meadow from the seriousness of dreary evenings the crackling copper of the flash then the dark thumps of the drum so many counted fears, slowly towards ears blowing nests in a wall the light tone of snail trails on concrete step again like a proud rooster give courageously the measure throw the staff once more high up so that it glitters in the sun I tap the jingles on the triangle as if we were going to walk the taptoe Hope this helps :-) When you need any tips next time you visit Friesland (Fryslân), just let me know. Will be happy to share some of our nice spots here.

Those people rowing in the canals where probably training for the HT -race. That is a race with sloeps ( rowing boats, the kind you filmed) from the town Harlingen to the island Terschelling

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.

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. @@dravisandanna

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.

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