Boekhandel Dominicanen
Een tijdje geleden bezochten we Maastricht en een bezoek aan Boekhandel Dominicanen kon dan niet ontbreken. Deze boekhandel vestigde zich in 2006 in een oude Dominicanenkerk. Het gebouw alleen al is een bezoek waard zelfs als je geen interesse hebt in boeken. Voor wie wel op zoek naar boeken kan ik deze boekhandel ook aanraden.…

Maastricht
With the youngest on scouts camp we went for a short overnight trip to Maastricht. We stayed in the Kaboom Hotel next to the central station. We travelled by car and could stay in the car park next to the station. From the car park to the hotel was a simple matter of crossing the…

The Musketeers
After visiting the Verbeke Foundation discussed in another post we went for dinner at a nearby pub called The Musketeers in Sint-Gillis-Waas.

Six Ones on the dash
We just came back from summer holidays in Corsica. We went by car and on one of the last days on the island the odometer reached 111111 km. Next occasion for such a number will be after double mileage but the car will not be with me anymore by then. A couple of years ago…

Scheiwijk
Today I went to pick up Hannelore from her Sportways Goalie camp at Xenios in Amsterdam. The camp ends at 1PM and no lunch is foreseen on the last day. As we didn’t have a lot of time we decided to stop at a restaurant on the highway. These are often poor quality but Scheiwijk…
