Eggbert's Travels

Wednesday 15^th July 2015

SHE SAID:

Another travelling day today with our return trip to Horsham, England.

It seemed much simpler this time. I guess because we had already done it before. We had 2 taxi trips; one at the beginning of the day & the other at the end, with 6 trains in between!

Sites & sights of Maastricht

Helpoort Gate (Hell's gate).
Once part of the first city walls, this was also
used as a prison

It is really quite tiring travelling all day, despite sitting down for 95% of it. We tried the food in the Eurostar buffet car as a bit of an experiment. I think once was enough. Everyone pre-purchases their food before boarding, and I can see why.

PS:  You should definitely assume that I tried many different local (Dutch/Belgian) beers, and that they were all very good. Australia still has a way to go to get such a wide range of good beer. And over here it is reasonably priced; even the good stuff (about $4 - $8 at a café or restaurant for a stubbie of fine 5% - 11%  Belgian abbey ale).
