From Luxembourg we made our way to the Netherlands, where both of us have family connections. First stop was Maastricht where Jansen's Dad's family hails from. We made sure to visit all the spots we know of with specific relevance, which were really nice to see. The town itself claims to be one of the oldest in the Netherlands and has a number of ancient Roman fortifications surrounding it with parklands and a picturesque central area. Being on the smaller side (population about 120,000) it seemed much more vibrant than its population might suggest, and yet seemed very liveable.
Our accommodation happened to literally be a boat on the river (in hindsight we should have known as it was called Botel), it had been partially converted to a hotel but was still very much a boat which was something unique for us so far. It made for nice views of the opposite waterfront over sunset.
