And More Running Around...

As I didn't go into it in the previous posts: The Maastricht trip in short: Basically we didn't really do that much; we walked from the station via the old bridge to the Vrijthof and the two churches. From there we walked past the University College Maastricht (not that interesting) and through some random streets following signs to the caves (which are outside of town, on top of a hill). The view is nice, but not spectacular, and as we didn't really feel like the caves, we walked back down again to the Onze Lieve Vrouwen plein and church. From there another cross through to market square and after that 1.5 hours of free shopping time before heading to the station and catching the 18:30 train out. The weather was nice, so all in all a nice, but brief, town visit.
Yesterday saw the Efteling trip. more than 20 people were invited, only 7 showed up. Of course the NS made us miss the bus, which was okay as some people travelled after us late because of discount reasons. The last person actually joined us inside the park, after we had done the entire sprookjesbos, Villa Volta and Droomvlucht. Seeing as it was raining early in the morning, and rain was expected for the entire day, not that many people showed up, and the rain decided that that wasn't going to be fun to rain on, so it gave up before we reached the park and it was sunny instead. This lead to nice weather and short (max 5 min) queues. Pancakes in Den Bosch ended the day in a nice manner. It was good to get out a few times this week, even though my shoulders are protesting by being very disargreeable today. Ohwell, it'll pass.
