CATCHING UP WITH FRIENDS AT MOUT IN HILVERSUM
Back on Dutch soil after a 23-hour flight and a 10-hour time difference. Catching up with friends at Mout. This building was a garage around 1920. Later it became an ugly cinema. Now the building has been beautifully restored and is a trendy Food Court. The large terrace overlooks the market square.

CHATEAU ST. GERLACH
We spend the evening and the night in this beautiful castle just outside Maastricht. We are spoiled by the staff and we imagine ourselves in a fairy tale environment. We feel that we deserve this kind of luxury.
