riding trains.
Y and I got back 2 days ago and we really had a good time! Friday we arrived in Brussels with a 2 hr delay. It was pouring and I was afraid that if it would continue to rain our trip would be ruined. Y’s friend picked us up from the station and took us to a great bar for some lovely and very special beers followed by dinner and more beers in a different pub. The next day we spent a few hours in Brussels and then took the train to Holland to my mum and dad. I must admit I was a little nervous, but despite me leaving Y alone with my dad while I gave my mum a hand it all went well.
Sunday morning we went to visit Judith and Marcel and then left for Amsterdam. Our planning was a bit messed up so we arrived later than originally planned. The weather was beautiful, so after checking in the hotel and dumping our bags we left for a little brewery where we had beers. After our drinks we had dinner with some of Y’s friends and got back to the hotel around 1 AM. Monday morning was spent in Vondelpark followed by a visit to the AMC, the academic hospital in Amsterdam. I was having lunch with a friend who works there and Y was meeting up with the people he worked for. Our initial plan was to go to C and D after, but they had a fight so we decided to stay an extra night in Amsterdam ( more food and beers again). Tuesday we left for Maastricht and arrived at 13.00. Our room in the very awesome TOWNHOUSE hotel was not yet ready, so we went to “het onze lieve vrouwen plein” for lunch and drinks and walked around the city. Unfortunately for us we had to leave the next morning and all the eating, drinking and not sleeping very much had definitely taken its toll on me, but it was totally worth it! Oh and during the hours spend on the train we watched the Misfits (I had already seen it, but it is such an awesome show that watching it again was still a great pleasure)
And now I am back in the lab not doing much. my new computer arrived yesterday and it is AWESOME!!!
