Forever and ever water

“If one can not defeat the enemy, befriend him”. This rule Dutch people, always struggling with water, have mastered to perfection. Pre Medieval Netherlanders used to say that “Deus mare, Batavus litora fecit”, what means: “God created ​​the sea, but the Batavians (Dutch) the coasts”. Also nowadays they say proudly that God created the world, but the Netherlands was created by them. more about "water by the Dutch people" in the story from "Holandia bez tajemnic" (Holland without secrets): http://www.holandiabeztajemnic.pl/?page_id=435&lang=en
