Postcard from Maastricht
Maastricht in the Netherlands is a particularly nice spot, and I keep wondering why I haven't made the one and a half hour drive before now. If I'd only known!
Maastricht is quite close to the German border, and just like everywhere in the Netherlands is full of cyclists (the push-bike kind, that is). And they have right of way, whatever you do!
Anyway, The city is located on both shores of the river Maas, which devides the city into old and new town. The old quarters house the university, old town houses and spacious plazas. Sit in one of the many cafés and enjoy a cold drink, or, if you're over 18 and have ID on you, check out one of the famous Dutch coffee shops.
Let me tell you that two hours in this beautiful little place is not enough! So plan a longer visit, when you go! The streets are all cobblestone, but they are easy to walk on and - since the Netherlands are such a flat country - all level! I've also heard, that Maastricht is a great place for some good-value shopping!
