Another official one & my first map card ! Came from Ostfriesland , Germany from Willi . He is the world Champion of "Postcrossing ' having sent more than 8.000 postcards .... Sighhhh :D What a collection must he have !!! As for the card Wiki has it again : East Frisia or Eastern Friesland (German Ostfriesland; East Frisian Low Saxon: Oostfreesland) is a coastal region in the northwest of the German federal state of Lower Saxony. It connects Western Frisia (in the Netherlands) with the district of Nordfriesland ("Northern Frisia", "Northern Friesland") inSchleswig-Holstein, all of which belong to the historic and geographic Frisia. Ostfriesland consists of the three districts of Aurich, Leer, Wittmund plus the city of Emden.There are 465,000 people living in an area of 3144.26 square kilometres.
There is a chain of islands off the coast, called the East Frisian Islands (Ostfriesische Inseln). These islands are (from west to east) Borkum, Juist,Norderney, Baltrum, Langeoog, Spiekeroog and Wangerooge.
Vielen herzlichen Dank Willi :D
