Last Sunday before Christmas, last day cheap train ride, and Nico my God son wanted to go to Christmas market by train , ok lemme explain you why it’s cheaper for me to go to London or any other Eiropean country by lowcost airlines than going somewhere in my beloved lowland by train. Public transport in NL so dang expensieve that we have to wait for some offers from supermarkets or drugstrores.
i managed to get 3 tickets for a day unlimited travelling , so we decided to go to Maastricht.
Maastricht is the southernmost city in the Lowland , Situated on the river Maas, within walking distance of Belgium and cycling distance of Germany , it claims to be the oldest city in the Netherlands .A great place to spend some times, it contains some magnificent buildings and culture, taking the form of plenty of old houses and buildings, lovely cathedrals and a spectacularly cobblestoned town centre.
Maastricht is about 45 minutes train ride from Eindhove and most of the time has a better weather but today.
Well , its about Christmas and spending some quality time with your loved one, so rain wont take the fun out of us.
The first thing we did is, try the yummy poffertjes , it’s wellknown as Dutch pancakes.. i love to eat them with plain sugar and butter ...
What is Christmas without ice skating ?
Mushroom with wine sauce, we only eat this on Christmas market.
Reibekuchen , German pancake contains potato, flour and egg.. sometimes they added mature cheese but i love it like it is , i eat them with apple sauce.
And of course, Krakaur and curry wurst, the famous German’s sausages on barby... so tasty.
Since the rain getting heavier and the sky getting darker , we decided to call it a day and heading off to the train station and go home.
Despite the bad weather we have had an awesome day and enjoyed our Sunday arvo....
Maastricht, Dec 22nd.
