Vladimyr got up early and had to go to the government office here in Aachen, basically to check out, or let them know that he was going to be leaving. After he got back from that, we headed off to have another adventure.
This time, we took the bus to a town in the Netherlands called Maastricht. From what I understand, this town is the next closest big town to Aachen and there is a direct bus service between the two cities.
We spent a lot of time trying to figure out the bus (online, beforehand) but didn't end up spending really any time looking at what to do there - which is fine, it just meant more wandering around.
We had to cross the River Maas to get from the bus station to the city center. We stopped to take a picture and the birds were not having it.

The "Winter Festival" was still going on (very very similar to a Christmas Market) and this one had a Ferris Wheel (Riesenrad!!) We got a nice view of the city from there.
Ofcourse there was a Church. This one still had the incense smell from a service and Vladimyr felt that this made being a tourist in the a church seem weird. The other churches that we had been in were just buildings but that the smell really made this one seem like a real church so that walking around it was strange. I thought it was pretty.
We walked around for a little bit then stopped for a beer before catching the bus back
Tonight is cleaning up, tomorrow we clean, shop and pack then we will be catching the train to Frankfurt. We will be staying overnight in Frankfurt so we can make it to the airport nice and early on Wednesday.
