Maastricht by night. .

This weekend we took the almost annual trip out to Belgum and Holland to enjoy the Christmas Markets, Great food and of course the fantastic Spa in Valkenberg.

I used to live here in Maastricht (pictured above) so it was great to be back at a place I have spent quite a bit of time!

Friday was mainly spend getting out there, with a flight to Brussles then a hire car drive up to Maastricht! Saturday we ventured to the drielandenpunt (3 Land Point - the convergence of the Dutch, Belgan and German borderes at one point) then on into Aachen in Germany for a wander around the market in the rain!

Sunday was a much more relaxed affair, a late start in the morning wandering around the Christmas market caves in Valkenberg follwoed by 3 hours in Therme 2000 spa pool.. a truely relaxing place to spend an afternoon!

Monday morning was a bit of a mad rush to get the hire car back and then into Brussles for a few hours of wandering!!

A great weekend to get us into the Christmas sprirt!!
