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
