getaway
Sand in your underpants, reading the newspaper in gale force 4 and drinking co*cktails in the dunes. You don’t have to go to the Caribbean for the sense of freedom. You can find it here, in the Frisian front yard, also known as an extraordinary UNESCO World Heritage Site. The Wadden. Note: not suitable for couch potatoes, box-set binge-watchers, landlubbers, speed demons, city slickers, Sunday drivers, homebodies and people who don’t like nature.
