Never a Dull Moment...

So today was the Maastricht trip. Started off with a trip to collect my pictures (they turned out really well) whilst my traveling partner went to the pharmacy. Of course, the person in front of you wants something gift-wrapped (at the kruidvat for crying out loud) whilst the other checkout is not available as someone is trying to buy half a pharmacy without really knowing what they're buying, but attempting to ask (in their opinion) intelligent questions anyway. Result: missed bus 1 by 20 seconds. Central Station saw the right train come in at the right time. Amazing. Less amazing: it reached 's Hertogenbosch 7 minutes late - we got off here to drop some stuff off, before continuing on the train exactly one hour later. With supplies picked up at the supermarket. At Eindhoven the announcement was made that this train isn't going any further and the real train will show up in a few minutes. This actually happened, the train left on time, made it outside of the station, and broke down, meaning that it was stuck within visible range of the station for just over 30 minutes. Of course, this means that come Sittard, they're not going to bother to continue on to Maastricht, so changeover to the stoptrain is the thing to do. 4 hours of random mucking about gets you there though - Getting that food was a good idea... The trip back? Eventless, as ever.

More public transport tomorrow - bring it on...
