Something Friesians Hope To Do...and others

One of the very few color photographs of "The Eleven Cities Tour" on ice-skates from 1963. It is also a very rare event. The first event was in 1909 en the last in 1997, altogether 15 times. Friesland has eleven cities and they all are connected by waterways. It is an ice skating event on natural ice and almost a national holiday in Friesland.
