Maastricht…


Maastricht…

It has been a while since I last made a post, but I have been too busy to write! J  I broke my ankle in July, and that took a few months off my schedule…  So here is two posts that happened from May – July…
My dad came for a visit in May, on his way home from a business trip J  He went to the States, and stopped over in Amsterdam on his way back home… 

I heard from everyone that Maastricht is a beautiful little town in the Netherlands…  So we jumped on a train, and headed there…  It really is a picturesque little town!  The Maas river separates the old from the new town…  It is a University town in the Netherlands.  It reminded me a lot of Stellenbosch J 
Funny story – when we arrived at the hotel, I told the lady, it was my dad visiting and if she could recommend some local places ect.  Also asked for a room with separate twin beds ect.  She told me that she would be upgrading us to a room, and we get some drinks included – free of charge J  I should have known – if it is too good to be true, it usually is too good to be true…  But I was intrigued J  We went up to our “room” and at the door, I already came to a halt…  “The Bollinger Champagne Room…”  Ok…  I opened the door, and it looked like the honeymoon suite!!!  There was mirrors against the roof, you could see the shower from the bed through a glass window, and there were no doors in front of the shower and toilet J hahaha!  We had a good laugh, and then just requested to be switched to another room J  I think the lady thought it was my sugar daddy J

We went for a stroll through the town, took some photos at the Old City walls, and just experienced the VIBE Maastricht had to offer…  We sat at a Café, where the chairs face the street, and we had some dinner, overlooking the Maastricht river…  After dinner, we went to get some incredible Ice Cream, and then just explored the rest of the City…





Check some of the beautiful pics!  Maastricht is a must, if you are in need of a “battery re-charge”…  There are great places to eat, go for coffee, shop ect…  I heard that a boat cruise on the Maas-river, is a great way to explore the City…  Something to remember if you ever have the opportunity to go there J
