did i find you, or you find me?

As I had used a lot of vacationdays in March & April with the personal time I added to my worktrip to Australia, I only had a week of official Summervacation left. (No worries though, my job comes with a lot of overtime to keep filling my stack of vacationdays until the end of the year;). For August I picked a destination in my own country that has been on my wishlist for years. I wanted to visit the triple border point in the South, that connects the Netherlands with Belgium and Germany. I chose a fancy hotel just across the German border in Aachen (aka Aken / Aix-la-Chapelle) and from there I went on day-trips to all three countries:-) I even got to practise my German and French (although I usually fall back on English when I travel outside of the Netherlands)
As per usual I took a ton of photos, enjoy the picspam!

( Day 1: Trains from the Netherlands (NLD) to Germany (DEU): Aachen Cathedral )

( Day 2: Hiking in Germany (DEU), the Netherlands (NLD) & Belgium (BEL): Triple border point! )

( Day 3: Old Steamtrain through the hills of Limburg (NLD) )

( Day 4: Riverboat from Belgium (BEL) to the Netherlands (NLD) )

( Day 5: Open air Swimmingpool (NLD) )

Yeah, that was a pretty good summervacation :-)
