Inothi Lomlobi: I-Viking River Cruises isebenzisa ezinye zezinyanga ezintsha ze-Viking ezihamba ngezinyawo ezihamba nge-Dutch tulip cruise manje. Nakuba imikhumbi yemifula ihlukile, umfula uhamba nakho ujabulise njengoba kwakunjalo lapho ngithatha le nkathi eminyakeni eminingana eyedlule.
Joyina nami kulogi lokuhamba lokuhamba nge-tulip cruise yethu yaseDutch.
Ngangiye e- Amsterdam izikhathi ezimbalwa kodwa angikaze ngifunde lonke izwe. Kuningi kakhulu eNetherlands kunedolobha elikhulu kuphela! Nazi amaqiniso ambalwa athakazelisayo.
Okokuqala, iHolland iyingxenye ezimbili kuphela ezifundazweni ezingu-12 zaseNetherlands zaseNetherlands. Iningi lezwe "liyizinto zokufakelwa", ngemuva kokuphinda likhishwe olwandle eminyakeni embalwa edlule. Cishe ingxenye yesine yekhilomitha engamakhilomitha angu-40,000 yezwe ingaphansi kwezinga elwandle, futhi okuningi eNetherlands kusezingeni eliphezulu noma ngaphezulu kwezinga lolwandle - akukho ukukhathazeka ngokugula okuphakeme lapha! Kukhona ama-dikes angaphezu kuka-2400 km ukugcina amanzi asolwandle, amanye awo angaphezu kwamamitha angu-25 phezulu.
Umlando wesiDashi ubuyela eminyakeni engu-250 000. Ubufakazi bamabhilidi abahlala emaphandleni abavela emuva kwale ndawo batholakala emgodini eduze kwaseMaastricht. Ezinye izifiki zakuleli ndawo zilandelwe emuva eminyakeni engu-2000 eyedlule.
Laba bantu basezindaweni zasendulo bakhela izikhukhula ezinkulu njengodaba oluzosetshenziselwa ukusetshenziswa kwezikhukhula zezwe lakubo. Amapulangwe angaphezulu kwangu-1000 asesakazekile emaphandleni angaphandle, ikakhulukazi eduze kwaseDrenthe esifundazweni saseFriesland. AmaRoma ahlasela iNetherlands futhi ahlala kuleli zwe kusukela ngo-59 BC kuya kwekhulu lesithathu AD, alandelwa emakhulwini embalwa alandelayo ngamaFranand namaVikings aseJalimane.
Izwe laseNetherlands lakhula ngesikhathi sekhulu le-15. Abathengisi abaningi baba abathengisa abacebile ama-tapestries, izingubo ezibizayo, ubuciko, nokuhlobisa. Amazwe Aphansi, njengoba ayebizwa kanjalo, adumile ngenxa yokwakha umkhumbi, u-salted herring, nobhiya.
Ikhulu lama-17 laliyigolide leNetherlands. I-Amsterdam yakhula njengesikhungo sezezimali saseYurophu, kanti iNetherlands yayibalulekile kokubili kwezomnotho nangokwemvelo. I-Dutch East India Company, eyakhiwa ngo-1602, yayiyinkampani enkulu kakhulu yokuhweba yekhulu le-17, kanye nenhlangano yokuqala yezwe emhlabeni jikelele. Inkampani yaseDutch West India yasungulwa ngo-1621, futhi yayiyisikhungo sokuhweba ngezigqila njengoba imikhumbi yawo ihamba phakathi kwe-Afrika namaMelika. Abahloli bamazwe avela kokubili kulezi zinkampani ezitholakale noma zanqotshwa amazwe emhlabeni wonke, kusukela eNew Zealand kuya eMauritius kuya esiqhingini saseManhattan.
Izwe laseNetherlands lagcina liba umbuso ozimele, futhi lakwazi ukuhlala lingathathi hlangothi phakathi neMpi Yezwe I. Ngeshwa, izwe alikwazanga ukuhlala lingathathi hlangothi phakathi neMpi Yezwe II. IJalimane yahlasela izwe laseMeyi ngo-May 1940, kanti iNetherlands ayizange ikhululwe kuze kuphele iminyaka emihlanu. Kunezindaba eziningi ezesabekayo ezivela empini, kuhlanganise nokulinganisa kweRotterdam, indlala ngesikhathi se-Winter of Hunger, nokuhlupheka kwamaJuda aseDutch njengo-Anne Frank.
Iminyaka engemva kwempi yabona iNetherlands ibuyela embonini yezohwebo. La mashumi eminyaka emva kwempi futhi yabona ukutholakala kwegesi yemvelo eNyakatho Yelwandle kusukela ogwini lwaseDutch, kanye nokubuya kweefama ezikhiqizayo. Amakoloni amaningi aseDutch emhlabeni wonke athola ukuzimela ngesikhathi seminyaka empi. Namuhla iNetherlands ibonakala njengamazwe avulekile kakhulu, nezinhlelo zomphakathi ezibanzi, inkululeko yomuntu, nokubekezelelana okukhulu kwezidakamizwa.
Njengoba manje uyazi umlando omncane kanye nezwe laseNetherlands, ake sihlole i-Dutch Journey cruise e-Viking Yurophu.
Njengoba sasihamba ebusuku siwela i-Atlantic, ngazama ukuphupha amasimu we-tulips futhi kancane kancane ngiphenduka umoya.
I-Tulipmania
Kungase kube nzima ukukholelwa, kodwa i-tulip yabangela inhlekelele yezomnotho eHolland ngo-1637 engakaze ibonwe ngaphambilini.
Ama-tulips aqale nje njengezimbali zasendle e-Central Asia futhi aqala ukukhula eTurkey. (I-word tulip iyisiTurkey ngengubo.) UCarolus Clusius, umqondisi wensimu endala kunazo zonke eziseYurophu eLeiden, wayengowokuqala ukuletha ama-bulbs eNetherlands. Yena kanye namanye ama-horticulturists bathola masinyane ukuthi ama-bulb ayesifaneleka kahle isimo sepholile, semvula kanye nomhlabathi we-delta ovundile.
Izimbali ezinhle zatholwa ngokushesha yiDashi enamandla, futhi zithandwa kakhulu. Ekupheleni kuka-1636 nasekuqaleni kuka-1637, i-mania yama-bulb yawela eNetherlands. Ukuthengwa nokuthengisa okucacile kwaqhubekela phambili intengo kuze kube lapho amanye ama-tulip ama-cost abiza okungaphezu kwendlu! Ibhulokhi elilodwa lithatha elilingana nomholo weminyaka engu-10 wesisebenzi esijwayelekile saseDutch. Ukuhweba okuningi okucatshangelwayo kwenzelwa ezinkantini, ngakho-ke utshwala-kwakususa i-tulipmania. I-bottom fell down emakethe ngoFebhuwari 1637, nabathengisi abaningi nezakhamuzi bebona inhlanhla yabo ilahlekile. Amanye ama-speculators ashiywe ngama-bulbs angama-unsold, noma ngama-bulb ayeku-"layaway". Umqondo wezinketho usuvele kule nhlekelele, futhi igama elithi tulipmania lisasetshenziselwa ukuchaza inhlanhla yokutshalwa kwemali.

Ama-windmills
Izitshalo zokuqala zomoya eHolland zakhiwa ngekhulu le-13 futhi zasetshenziselwa ukugaya ufulawa. Kungakapheli iminyaka eyikhulu, amaDutch ayephuthumayo ekwakhiweni kwemimoya, futhi amagiya asetshenziselwa ukupompa amanzi. Kungakabiphi amakhulu amakhulu emimoya aphefumula ama-dikes ayebheke emazweni aphansi, futhi kwaqala ukugeleza komhlaba. Ukuthuthukiswa okulandelayo okulandelayo kwaba ukuqaliswa komshini wesikhumba ojikelezayo. Ingaphezulu yalezi zinyoni zomoya zijikelezelana ngomoya, okuvumela ukuba ugaywa luqhutshwe ngumuntu oyedwa kuphela.
Nakuba ukudonsa amanzi ukukhipha umhlaba kwakuwukusetshenziswa okudumile kunayo yonke imishini, izigubhu zomoya zazisetshenziselwa ukugubha izinkuni, okwenza ubumba zibe zobumba, ngisho nokuchoboza izingulube zemibala. Maphakathi nawo-1800, kwasetshenziswa ama-windmills angaphezu kuka-10 000 kulo lonke elaseNetherlands. Kodwa-ke, ukusungulwa kwe-injini ye-steam kwenza izakhi zomoya zingasebenzi. Namuhla kunezingcingo ezingaphansi kwezingu-1000, kodwa abantu baseDutch bayaqaphela ukuthi lezi zindawo zokuhambisa umoya, namakhono adingekayo ukuzisebenzisa, kufanele zigcinwe. Uhulumeni waseDutch uqhuba isikole esineminyaka emi-3 ukuqeqesha abaqhubi bemimoya, okumele futhi balayisenswe.
Amsterdam
Ngemva kwezindiza zethu eziyi-9, safika e-Amsterdam ekuseni. Mina noJuanda sasiba nosuku nesigamu sokuhlola i-Amsterdam ngaphambi kokuba sihambe eViking Europe.
Njengoba sasiqala usuku lokuhamba kwethu, sathola itekisi esiteshini sezindiza siya emzini. I-Schiphol Airport iyinhlangano yesithathu ebaluleke kunayo yonke eYurophu, ngakho kwakukhona amatekisi amaningi atholakalayo.
Ngemva kokuhamba ngamaminithi angu-30 sashiya imithwalo yethu ehhotela futhi sahamba ukuhlola umuzi.
Ukukhetha ihotela elilodwa kuphela kwaba inselelo, ikakhulukazi ngoMgqibelo ebusuku ngesikhathi sonyaka wezivakashi. Sifuna ukuhlala endaweni ezosinika umqondo we-Amsterdam nesimo samasiko, ngakho-ke sigweme amahotela ama-chain awakhuthaza ukuvumelana, kepha hhayi ngempela umoya othakazelisayo waseDutch.
Ngaqale ngibheka amahhotela amancane noma umbhede nama-breakfasts kodwa ngokushesha ngathola ukuthi abaningi babo bafuna ukuhlala okungenani ubusuku obu-2 noma 3. Ngisebenzisa ezinye zezincwadi zami zokuqondisa zaseNetherlands, futhi ngisesha iWebhu, ngithemba ukuthi ngitholile lokho esikufunayo - i-Ambassade Hotel. I-Ambassade itholakala edolobheni futhi yakhiwe kusukela ezindlini eziyi-10 zomsele. Ihhotela linamakamelo angu-59, futhi lithembisa "ukunikeza zonke izinzuzo zalesi sikhathi samanje kodwa ngefa eliyigugu lesikhathi esidlule."
Ngemva kokuhlala amahora, sasilungele ukuphuma ehhotela ngezinyawo futhi sihlole. Njengoba i-Viking yaseYurophu yayizolala ebusuku e-Amsterdam, futhi iphakheji ye-cruise yayihlanganisa ukuvakasha kwemifula kanye ne- Rijksmuseum , sagcina lezo "ezimbili ezidingekayo" ngemuva kokungena ngemvume ngomkhumbi. Njengoba ihhotela lethu liseduze nendlu ka- Anne Frank , sahamba lapho kuqala. Ivulekile kusukela ngo-9 ekuseni kuya ku-9: 00 ntambama, kusukela ngo-Ephreli 1. Imigqa ihlala isikhathi eside kakhulu, futhi awukwazi ukuthatha uhambo oluhleliwe. Ukuhamba ekuseni noma ngemuva kokudla kusiza ukugcina ukulinda kuncane.
Ngemuva kokuhamba isikhathi esithile noma ukuvakashela indlu ka-Anne Frank, sasiya esiteshini esiphakathi ukuze sivakashele isikhungo sezokuvakasha eduze lapho sithenge amathikithi e-tram.
I-tram yendilinga iyi-tram line ye-hop-on-hop-off egijima phakathi kwe-Amsterdam yedolobha yedolobha kuzo zombili izinkomba ezidlule eziningi ezikhangayo namahhotela. Ngenombolo ye-tram yombuthano 20, kulula ukuhamba kusuka kokukhanga komunye ngaphandle kokushintsha imigqa.
Njengoba isimo sesimo sezulu sasiqedile, saya kwelinye lamamyuziyamu ngaphandle kweRijksmuseum. I-Amsterdam inezinhlobonhlobo eziningi ezikhangayo nemyuziyamu yazo zonke izinto ezithandayo. Amamyuziyamu amabili asezindaweni ezinkulu epaki ngaphakathi kwamakhilomitha ahambahambayo kanye neRijksmuseum. I-Vincent van Gogh Museum ihlanganisa imidwebo engu-200 (eyanikelwa umfowabo kaTheo) u-van Gogh nemidwebo engu-500 kanye nokusebenza ngabanye abaculi abadumile bekhulu le-19. Itholakala eduze ne-Rijksmuseum. Ngasese Museum Museum, i-Stedelijk Modern Art Museum igcwele imisebenzi ejabulisayo ngabadwebi abajwayele ukujwayela.
Ukunyakaza okukhulu kwekhulu leminyaka elidlule njenge-modernism, ubuciko be-pop, imidwebo yezenzo, kanye ne-neo-realism imelelwe.
I-Dutch Resistance Museum (i-Verzetsmuseum), ngaphesheya komgwaqo kusukela e-zoo, ibonisa ukuchasana nokuma kweDashiya kumazwe aseJalimane ahlasela iMpi Yezwe II. Amafilimu amafilimu e-propaganda nezincwadi ezithinta imizamo yokufihla amaJuda asendaweni amaJalimane alethe ukwesaba kokuhlala emzini ohlala kuwo. Ngokuthakazelisayo, lo myuziyamu useduze nendawo yendawo yaseshashalazini yaseSchouwburg, eyayisetshenziswa njengendawo yokuhlala yamaJuda alindele ukuthutha emakamu okuhlushwa. Le midlalo yikhumbuzo manje.
Ngemuva kwezindiza zethu zokulala ebusuku futhi sihamba noma sivakashela umuzi isikhashana, sabuyela ehhotela futhi sihlanza ukudla. I-Amsterdam inezinhlobo eziningi zokudla. Njengoba sasikhathele yizindiza zethu zobusuku bonke, sasidla isidlo esiphundu eduze nehhotela lethu. Ngakusasa sasizojoyina iViking Yurophu.

Sajoyina i-Viking Europe ngosuku lwesibili e-Amsterdam. Abanye bethu abahamba nabo bachitha izinsuku ezintathu e-Amsterdam njengengxenye yephakheji yokwandisa ngaphambili. Abanye bahamba ngobusuku obuvela e-US futhi bafika e-Amsterdam ekuseni. Sonke sasijabule nge-cruise ezayo futhi sihlangana nabangane abasha.
Ngemva kokuphumula kweSonto ekuseni ngokuhlola indawo eseduze nehhotela lethu, mina noJuanda sathola itekisi emkhunjini.
Sasichitha isikhathi sethu sihamba emigwaqweni nasemidlaneni yalo muzi omuhle futhi sivakashela i-Anne Frank House. Ihhovisi lezokuvakasha eliseduze neCentral Station lahamba ngezinkambo ezenzelwe ukukuhambisa kwezinye izingxenye ezithakazelisayo kakhulu zedolobha.
I-Viking yaseYurophu yayifakwe kahle eduze neCentral Station. Sasihamba ngohambo lweShayina ngeSonto. Nakuba ngase ngithathe uhambo lwe-canal e-Amsterdam ngaphambili, kwakuyithuba elihle lamaJuanda ukubona ngaphezulu kwedolobha. Ukwakhiwa kwe-Amsterdam kuyathakazelisa kakhulu, futhi izindaba mayelana nomuzi kanye nemigodi yayo ziyamangalisa kakhulu, kumnandi ukuyibona kaningi.
Ekupheleni kosuku, sabuyela emuva eViking Yurophu ngenhloso yokuthola "i-cocktail reception" kanye neyokudla. I-Viking Yurophu yahlala ubusuku bonke emgwaqeni, futhi sasivakashela amanye ama-Amsterdam ngosuku olulandelayo.
I-Viking Yurophu inezingane zakini ezifanayo, iViking Pride, Spirit, neNeptune, futhi zakhiwe ngo-2001.
Imikhumbi ingamamitha angu-375 ubude, enezinsika ezintathu nama-cabins angu-75, ngayinye yokugeza okugeza yangasese, ifoni, i-TV, ephephile, umoya we-air and dryer hair. Ngabagibeli abangu-150 nabasebenzi abangu-40, sahlangana nabaningi abahamba nabo. Amakamelo angamakhilomitha angama-120 noma izinyawo ezingu-154, ngakho-ke isikhala sanele.
Asizange sichithe isikhathi esiningi ekamelweni lethu kusukela isikhathi esiningi sasizophuma siphumelela ngalawo ma-tulips noma sibona izwe laseDutch.
Sahlala ngolunye usuku e-Amsterdam futhi saya eFrioriade horticultural fair kanye neRijksmuseum ngebhasi lokuvakasha.
Floriade
Ngangiyithanda ukuhlelwa kwe-horticultural ekhethekile, okuqhutshwa kanye kuphela eminyakeni eyishumi. I-Floriade yavulwa ngo-Ephreli futhi yahamba ngo-Okthoba 2002. Izivakashi ezintathu zezigidi zavakashela ukuvezwa kwama-horticultural. Sasilapho ngesikhathi se-tulip "se-prime", kodwa ama-tulips aqhakaza ku-Floriade kusukela ekuqaleni kuka-Ephreli kuze kufike ngosuku lokugcina ngo-Okthoba. Umlimi we-Tulip uD Dirk Jan Haakman wasebenzisa isitoreji esibandayo ukuze avikele lezi zimbali ezithandekayo. Ngesikhathi sasekuseni, waqabula ama-tulips njalo ngemva kwamasonto amabili, kamuva ngenkathi kanye ngesonto.
Isihloko sikaFloriade 2002 sasithi "Zizwe I-Art of Nature", futhi sathola ithuba lokwenza lokho. Abavakashele bahamba ngesigodi esimnandi sezimbali eziyizigidi eziyizigidi. Izingadi zase-Asia, zase-Afrika nezaseYurophu zasivumela ukuba sibone izitshalo ezizungezile umhlaba.
Umklami wezakhiwo waseJalimane ne-landscape u-Niek Roozen waklama uhlelo lwe-Floriade 2002. Uhlanganisa izakhi zemvelo ezikhona, njengeGenie Dike, ingxenye yama-anti-defense ase-Amsterdam, kanye neHarlemlemermeerse Bos eneminyaka engu-20 ubudala.
Uphahla lweglasi engxenyeni yepaki eliseduze nophahla lwaluyinto ekhangayo. Kwakukhona ngisho nemipiramidi ku-Haarlemmermeer. Kuthathe amamitha ayi-500,000 amamitha ayisishiyagalombili esihlabathi ukuze akhe i-Big Spotters 'Hill. Phezu kwalolu daba lwama-30 wamitha-phezulu lwakwenza umsebenzi wobuciko u-Auke de Vries.
I-Floriade Park yayinezigaba ezintathu, eduze kweDoof, ngase-Hill naseLwandle. Isigaba ngasinye sinomuntu siqu nesimo sakhe. Ngaphezu kwalokho, isigaba ngasinye sichaza isihloko esiyinhloko sePloriade ngendlela yaso siqu. Isigaba esiseduzane neRoof sasisehlangothini olusenyakatho yepaki futhi lixhunywe nomnyango osenyakatho. Ukuvulwa kweGenie Dike kwaholela esigabeni sesibili, yi-Hill, eningizimu-ntshonalanga yeDoof. Okunye eningizimu kwakuyingxenye yesithathu, eLwandle. Lesi sigaba sasihlanganisa ingxenye esenyakatho ye-Haarlemmermeerse Bos, eyasungulwa eminyakeni engaphezu kwamashumi amabili edlule.
Rijksmuseum
Le myuziyamu emangalisayo yindlela yesango leMyuziyamu. UPierre Cuypers, umakhi ofanayo owadala iCentral Station, wakha le museum ngo-1885. Ungamangali uma ucabanga ukuthi izakhiwo zifana nomunye! I-Rijksmuseum iyi-museum oyinhloko e-Amsterdam, yokwamukela izivakashi ezingu-1.2 million ngonyaka. Kukhona amaqoqo amahlanu amakhulu emnyuziyamu, kodwa "ingxenye yokudweba" cishe idume kakhulu. Lapha uzothola amakhosi aseDutch naseFlemish kusukela ngekhulu le-15 kuya kwele-19. I-Nightwatch enkulu ka-Rembrandt yilabo abakuleli sigaba. Angikaze ngiqaphele ukuthi lo mdwebo ovelele wawuwubukhulu obusayizi! Umdwebo awungakaqanjwanga ngokuthi i-Nightwatch. Leli gama lalinalo igama ngoba konke okwakumnandi nokusikhipha okwakuqongelelwe phakathi neminyaka kwenza kube nokubukeka okumnyama. Umdwebo ubuyiselwe futhi ukhethekile ngempela.
Kwasekuseni ntambama lapho sabuyela e-Viking Yurophu. Sonke sasikhathele kusukela osukwini lwethu ePloriade naseRijksmuseum. Sasuka e-Amsterdam kuVolendam, e-Edam nase-Enkhuizen.
Page 4>> Okuningi kuViking Europe Dutch Journey Cruise>>
Ngemva kokuhamba e-Amsterdam, sahamba ngenyakatho siya eVolendam, e-Edam nase-Enkhuizen eNoord Holland. Ngemva kokulala ebusuku eVolendam , iqembu lethu lihamba ngebhasi lihamba ngezwe laseDutch eliyiBacliki, liye lafika e-Edam, ikhaya lezinyamazane ezidumile emhlabeni. Eya eHoorn, ebizwa ngokuthi ichweba layo elihlotshiswe uphondo, futhi ekugcineni ku-Enkhuizen, lapho sabuyela khona emkhunjini.
I-Edam
I-Edam inemoto engamaminithi angu-30 enyakatho ye-Amsterdam, kodwa idolobha layo elincane kanye nomoya ohlambulukile kwakuyishintsho eliqabulayo ngemuva komuzi omkhulu.
Ngesinye isikhathi, i-Edam yayinezikhungwane ezingaphezu kuka-30 futhi yayiyichweba elimatasa lokuhamba. Manje umuzi wabantu abangu-7000 kuphela othulile futhi onokuthula, ngaphandle kwezimakethe zangoJulayi no-Agasti. Sabona i-Kaaswaag endala, indlu yesisindo esinomuthi, lapho kudayiswa khona amakhilogremu angu-250 000 ngonyaka. I-Edam nayo inezimbiza ezinhle kakhulu, imigwaqo yokudonsa, nezindawo zokugcina izinto.
I-Hoorn
I-Hoorn yayisiyinhloko-dolobha yaseWest Friesland nekhaya leNkampani YaseDutch East India, ngakho yayiyindawo edolobheni elikhulu kakhulu ekhulwini le-17. Manje i-Hoorn yindawo echwebeni eligcwele ama-yachts, kanti ichweba elihle lihlanganiswe nemikhaya emihle. I-Hoorn yayinezingane ezimbili ezidumile ezihamba ngomkhumbi - omunye waba ngowokuqala ukuhamba ngesikebhe saseNingizimu Melika ngo-1616 futhi wayiqamba ngokuthi ngemuva komuzi wakubo - iKapa Horn. Umhloli wezibili wathola iNew Zealand noTasmania eminyakeni embalwa kamuva.
Enkhuizen
I-Enkhuizen ingenye yemizi enhle kunazo zonke ehlonishwayo eWest Frisian, futhi sajabula ukuchitha ubusuku khona.
Njengamanye amadolobha amaningi asechwebeni, u-Enkhuizen wayeyinhloko ngesikhathi sokuhamba kwemikhumbi yaseDutch. Kodwa-ke, lapho i-Zuiderzee iqala ukuthungatha ngasekupheleni kwekhulu le-17 leminyaka, indima ka-Enkhuizen njengechweba elibalulekile limile futhi. Idolobha elincane manje lihlala emzini weZuiderzeemuseum, ukubukeka komlando okuthakazelisayo ekuphileni esifundeni ngaphambi kokuba uphawu lubekwe uphawu ngo-1932.
I-museum iqukethe imyuziyamu evulekile ebonakala sengathi idolobhana lase-Zuiderzee kusukela ekuqaleni kwekhulu lama-20, liphelele nabakhileyo endodeni yendabuko.
Ngemva kokuchitha usuku e-Noord Holland, salala futhi salala ubusuku bo-Viking yaseYurophu ngenkathi sifika e-Enkhuizen.
Ngakusasa eViking Yurophu i-Dutch Journey yethu, sasihamba ngebhasi yesifunda saseFriesland esifundeni saseNetherlands nasemzaneni waseHindeloopen. Sabuyela emuva emkhunjini eLammer ukuze sifike eMfuleni i-Ijssel ngodla kuze kufike ku-Kampen.
Isifunda seFriesland
IFriesland ivame ukubizwa ngokuthi isifunda seLwandle laseNetherlands. It flat, green, futhi une amachibi amaningi. Isifunda sigcwele izinkomo ezimnyama namhlophe, amagama angamaFrisian. Izakhamizi zaseFriesland zihlala ezweni elitholwa kakhulu, futhi izindaba zakudala zitsheliwe ngezinsuku zokuqala zezwe "elisha" ukuthi ngezinye izikhathi kwakunzima ukutshela ukuthi ngabe unamanzi adle noma udaka lwamanzi!
Omunye wesifazane othakazelisayo obizwa ngokuthi isifunda saseFriesland ekhaya lakhe kwakuyi-Mata Hari edumile evela eMpi Yezwe I. Kukhona imyuziyamu yase Mataha eLeeuwarden, inhloko-dolobha yaseFriesland. I-Leeuwarden inezinye iminyeziyamu ezimbili ezithakazelisayo - i-Fries Museum ne-Princessehof Museum. I-Fries Museum ilandisa indaba yenkambiso yaseFrisi futhi inezicucu eziningi zesiliva - isikhathi eside esiyingcweti yabaculi baseFrisian.
Imyuziyamu ye-Princessehof iyindawo yokuhlala abathandi bommbila noma be-ceramic. I-Princessehof inamatayela avela emhlabeni wonke, futhi ukhetho oluhle oluvela eMpumalanga Ekude.
Uhambo lwethu lwamaHindeloopen, idolobhana elincane e-Ijsselmeer. Leli dolobha elihle kakhulu linamachiza, amabhuloho amancane, kanye nendawo enhle yamanzi. I-Hindeloopen nayo ingenye yezindawo ezisemqoka e-Elfstedentocht, eRace Cities Race. Umcimbi we-skate marathon umjaho we-200km ubude futhi isikhathi sokurekhoda singaphezu kwamahora angu-6. Umjaho Wemizi Eyishumi Nanye kwenzeka eMfuleni weFriesland, kodwa ungabanjwa kuphela eminyakeni lapho yonke imigodi iqhwa. Umncintiswano "waminyaka yonke" uye waqhutshwa izikhathi ezingu-15 kuphela kusukela ngo-1909. Umncintiswano awukwazi ngisho nokuhlelwa kuze kube yizinsuku ezintathu ngaphambi kokuthi ugijime, futhi sonke isifunda sihlanganyele ekubhukeni, ukusebenza noma ukubukela umcimbi.
Kuzwakala sengathi kumnandi!
Kampen
Ukuhamba okusheshayo eMfuleni i-Ijssel kuyoletha i-Viking Europe i-Kampen. Leli dolobha elincane lingakapheli izivakashi, njengamanye amadolobha esifundazweni sase-Overijssel. Sahamba ngohambo lwe-Kampen, sima ukuyobona iNieuwe Tower nesonto le-14 leBovenkerk.
Ukuqeda
UMfula uViking wagijima kuwo wonke isidlo sikaKaputeni, wayeka emzini waseHanseatic waseDeventer ebusuku. I-Deventer yayiyichweba elimatasa kusukela ku-800 AD.
