5 days fly. I'm liking The Netherlands this year, Maastricht gets the thumbs up. Small, walkable, cyclable (is that a word?), cobbled, side streets, cute squares, nice bars, nicely European and very pretty. Lots of time with the boy, wandering around his city, getting caught out in crazy rain storms, having biertje's (I'm still a pint girl!) and sickeningly sweet stroopwafels, cooking Indian food and me having to lob in heaps of yogurt cos it was too spicy for me as per usual, being the only Irish in the Irish pub for the Leinster Heineken Cup match (we won btw, bring on the semi's!!), partying with the Maastricht trainees and catching up with Randy post Paddys weekend hangovers, taking a day trip to Dusseldorf...point to note, don't take day trips to Germany on Sundays, nearly everything's shut...at least Starbucks was there to offer lounging couches and a bizarre Vivienne Westwood exhibit provided entertainment. Too short but sweet.
