On Saturday Cherilyn and I hit the shops in Maastricht – hard. We got up (kind of) early and drove there (just over 2 hours south).
When we first arrived, we found a parking building that was underground, so we went down the ramp, but then ended up in a massive traffic jam! The park was full, so it wasn’t giving out tickets to any cars unless another car exited the lot! We sat there for a good fifteen minutes, listening to our newly made road trip compilation CDs and getting jealous of the people behind us who were eating chips as they waited. We finally got in and parked my tiny car in the one spot that was open at the time.
We had been told that Maastricht had good shopping, but we weren’t prepared for what we got! While it had all the regular chain shops, they all seemed to have much better stuff in them, and there were also a few one-off shops. We came home laden with bags (and credit card debt). Some massive sales were on, and I found myself with four new pairs of jeans, a pair of boots and a replacement handbag. Whoa!
On the drive home, I stuck my new camera out the window (and felt very nervous about it) to take pictures of the sunset. Here's one:

We stopped off in Utrecht on the way home because it was a town I hadn’t seen yet. We got Burger King for dinner there (the healthy shopper’s obvious choice, haha).
