Last weekend I went to Holland to celebrate the '4th lustrum' (20 years, can you believe it!!!) of Sconfinato. I arrived on THursday morning just in time to celebrate my mum's birthday. On Thursday afternoon we made the trip down to Maastricht. It had been over 10 years since I last saw Conny so it was so nice to catch up again. After a sate dinner we went to our lovely accommodation between Valkenburg and Maastricht.
On Friday most of the girls went for a relax/sauna day but as this is not really my thing, Conny and myself went to Maastricht for the day. How nice to walk around the HEMA, V&D, Albert Heijn, etc with someone who also doesn't live in Holland. We got excited about everything! For lunch we had a 'broodje frikandel'! Of course we had to have a beer on a terrace on 'Onze Lieve Vrouwenplein'. In the evening we had dinner and went to a play at the theater. Strange one that was :)
Saturday morning there was a dropping with an american army truck. By navigating and answering questions we had to make our way back home. The weather was really nice so great to be outside in the countryside.
The afternoon was spent with knitting (!) and playing a game that Desiree and Cecile had put together. The game brought back loads of memories and also some new information. Lots of fun, anyway!
In the evening we went to a castle and cooked our own meal. We spent the evening in one of the cellars, eating drinking and talking.
Sunday, the last day already. We spent a few hours on Segways in Maastricht. First, becoming comfortable with them and then a tour through the city.
After the tour a quick lunch and back to Aalsmeer as I had to catch the evening flight back to Dubai.
What a great weekend. Thanks girls, we should do this more often!!!!
