Signs 2

 An ice cream shop in Lemmer in the Province of Friesland. They have a different language than Dutch. The text means "ice cold". Linking to  Signs 2 http://backroadstraveller.blogspot.com/

Brrrrr

An oldie from 2013 in Lemmer.

Weird building.

Don't know exactly what to say about this building in Lemmer, my home is my castle?

The signs says a broker-office is situated here.

Lemmer

As I mentioned yesterday we drove further to a pretty little town called Lemmer in the province Friesland. It is one of the most famous water sport towns. The history of the town goes back the 14th Century and we saw some pretty old houses.

The houses are built along a canal with many terraces and where tourists boats come along all the time to pass form the IJssellake to the rivers.

Look how narrow it is here to pass with rather big boats.

The bridge had to be opened many times because there was a lot of shipping.

Through the lock the ships enter the city from the IJssellake.

One of the two lock-keeper houses.

You may think this is dutch language, but the funny part is, the province Friesland has its own language "Fries". I can understand this means "ijskoud" in dutch (ice-cold) but when people speak in Fries language to me, I don't understand. But we bought a nice ice-cream here without problems.
Hubby SC had also some nice photo yesterday here.
