La Bergere Hotel And Housing Maastricht

... a tourist. Berlin almost had that vibe, but just missed out, but I must say that Copenhagen definitely made me feel that way in just 2.5 hours. Ella, I am quite jealous of the time you will get to spend there as a student!<br><br>I left Copenhagen in the mid-afternoon for Malaga, on the Costa del Sol in the south of Spain, to visit friends of my grandmother's there. Upon arrival, I was highjacked by a man speaking in Dutch, asking if I spoke English and Spanish. He was quite relieved ...

During our stay in Spa we had the most scary, horrible, unpleasant experience ever in a restaurant.<br><br>The restaurant to avoid is "Le Bouchon Gourmand", the owner does not hesitate to insult customers, lock them into the restaurant if there is a dispute on the bill, and claim more money than is due. <br><br>See more on www.bouchon-gourmand.blogspot.com

... They told us we were at the highest point in Belgium, which was somewhere in the Nature Park.<br><br>We decided to call it a day for the roadbook, and make a detour to just get into Luxembourg for fuel, and to make sure we 'did' all the countries.<br><br>Looking back that detour cost us some time, but did mean we visited Luxembourg, even if it was too dark to see it.<br>

... our hotel. In the evening we went for another walk looking for somewhere to eat and we had no trouble at all seeing there are café&#8217;s everywhere. We ended up at Vrythof which is the square where Andre Rieu is going to have his concert and sat at one of the terraces there. To our greatest enjoyment he was having a practice concert so we just stayed and enjoyed the music and him stopping and telling them it was ...

... opposition. It was not long before returning to Marjan's that we found a place to stay in Maastricht. So we got on the road and let the Tom Tom guide us. We arrived just after 10.30 at the hostel but they were still open. They had a vacancy in a mixed dorm that was fine for us. Better still they had a bar open downstairs. While I enjoyed a Westmalle Dubbel we tried to play pool. I only just won 2-1. Once we had walked to the town center the cafe's were ...

... I have already encountered in my short time in Europe, I know the reason will be a very good one :) I want to thank everyone for everything you have done for me while I have been here. Without you, this experience would not be near as enjoyable :) I hope everyone is doing great....and staying heathly! Have a great rest of the weekend...and a great week to follow.....until next time....(with barcelona news of course!) Love, Kenzie

... be seen in the "first week" picture album...look for the statue with a torch. The smaller camp on the other side of the Maas developed into the area called Wyck. I have went walking in this district a few times but have yet to really discover it. With the rise of Christianity in the 4th century, Maastricht became a cathedral city. The first bishop St. Servaas also founded the first church, on the site where the Onze Lieve ...

... was the opening day for the Carnaval of Maastricht and the party was in the air. Already during the morning you could hear the noises. Sander was working there in the beer tent from the morning and on my case I only went out to meet the other HC member at the meeting point for the day. Frank Verhart was there as organisator (HC:fverhart), Rik (HC:crikey), Joeri (HC:joerifromberlgium), and Marcel (HC:marcelb). We waited and Maria ...

... small cursory road sign confirmed we had crossed into Belgium. It was an absolute pleasure to ride along the flat bike lanes attached to each and every road, a far cry from the stress and angst of riding alongside vehicle traffic in Australia, and we kept going for a good 25km or so to the town of Genk. <br><br>Genk itself was a fairly non-descript place, but when in a local supermarket we were each able to ...

... je moest het maar iets nodig hebben en het thuis hebben laten liggen. <br><br>Maar zo, ik vertrek! Ik ga genieten van mijn jaar in het buitenland, aan het strand, tussen de palmbomen, de blauwe zee. Zoals ik het opnoem lijkt het wel een droomvakantie. Maar vergeet niet: de nieuwe taal, nieuwe mensen, nieuwe gewoonten, nieuwe omgeving, ... Hier lijkt het een avontuur dat ik absoluut niet wil vergeten. <br><br>Later meer.<br><br>Groetjes Stefanie
