Netherlands 2015 – Maastricht

July 5, 2015 by Susan

Maastricht was an easy 30 minute cycle from out camp site, so we headed there for a couple of days.

The first day after the obligatory visit to the, rather impressive, tourist information centre (VVV)

we set out on a walking tour of the city.

First stop was the magnificent bookshop converted from an ancient Dominican church – Boekhandel Dominicanen

We opted for the fortifications tour so we saw lots of, well, fortifications.

We learned that “molen” means mill and saw some watermills.

Jonathan wanted to take some photos of the deer in the town park.

We ended up back at the very empty town square and had an ice cream, toasted sandwich and a beer before cycling back to the camp site.
