Final Day in Maastricht: Through Pictures - Fun Spots Around Maastricht

So the FUN route we took, instead of going to the library, starts off at this neat little spot.

If you walk around this little building you can walk up on top of the fortification walls! It's a neat view of the city. See below for shots of going up, on top and looking out.

Enjoying my little treat, at the top!


A look down one of the city streets from the top.


Once we climbed back down from the fortifications, we were at the back of the library!


One of the many little parks around Maastricht. Note the street sign in the background.


One of many BIG churches around Maastricht.


Flowers were outside everyone's home, in gardens or in pots. Spring was enjoyed by all, truly!


We happened upon this place as we walked around. Pretty isn't it?


Lots of outdoor seating to enjoy, all over the shopping/eating areas of Maastricht.


One of the many shopping streets.


Bart! Home of the most DELICIOUS pastries. Ever. Especially the exploding pastry, which I had to have one last time. (See below.)


Filled inside with goodness, this pastry is unbelievable. I miss it terribly.


The Maas river.



Does the location look familiar? Back on our first day exploring Maastricht, I took a picture in just about the same spot. (Reposted below for those that don't remember.)


Back to that day in June though - MUCH different weather than the January day above.


Maastricht train station! Spent quite a lot of time coming and going through this building. While there, I got my train ticket to the airport for the next day - when I'd be headed back to the U.S. of A!


This is in the Vrijthof Square...


Beautiful church we could see from the Vrijthof.


A perfect picture to end with. Dutch fries! We got them many a night, but the proper way, as I've previously mentioned, is with mayonnaise! I had never eaten fries the proper Dutch way, so today, we felt it was necessary! We sat outside, on the Vrijthof square, enjoying the sunshine and the last few hours of all being together. (Farzin wanted to get in this last picture, as you can see...)

The next post will document the loooonnngggg trip back home!
