How about some german vocabulary? “Nordsee” means “North Sea”, ok, this is an easy one. The next is “Wattenmeer” which is equivalent to “Wadden Sea”, an area “between north western continental Europe and the Frisian Islands, forming a shallow body of water” (wikipedia). The last word is “Strandkorb” which describes a special kind of chair for two people (and maybe one small child) that provides comfort and protection from sun, wind and rain. All of this is what we found in the city of “Norden”, Germany, this summer, where we walked along the coast observing high and low tide and enjoying a small fair ground in front of the sea.
