The Mermaid
About
In Terschelling, The Mermaid stands at Badweg Formerum 10, 8894 KW Formerum, Netherlands, a chalet on the island's western side. Formerum sits between West-Terschelling and Midsland, with Hoorn, Oosterend and Lies further along the same stretch of coast.

Dutch is the main language, and Frisian is spoken on Terschelling and Schiermonnikoog, so a greeting in either goes down well. Ferries run from Den Helder, Harlingen, Holwerd and Lauwersoog, with crossings of one to two hours, making the island reachable by sea from several mainland ports.
North Sea fish, shrimps, mussels, lamb and dairy feature in local cooking, and a meal ashore is part of the island routine. Whaling and shipping gave the islands crews and trade links in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, a history still visible in the harbour towns.
