Friesland

The
Wadden Islands in northwestern Netherlands have some great walks across the
mudflats (with a guide, of course) and nature reserves to check out in the
islands.
Friesian is supposed to be so close linguistically to English
(and a genetic study last year actually found that males from Friesland are more
closely related to English males than males from Wales or Scotland), It's really
interesting just listening to the people speak, reading menus and roadsigns,
etc. Otherwise, Friesland is quite flat and boring,
