Another Weekend
Wednesday 8 March 2006 ◷ 22:17
The good thing about my trips down south is that the busses and trains connect really well at Utrecht, Sittard and Heerlen, but the bad thing is that that leaves me no slack to buy some brunch, and dutch trains don't sell much more than some gevulde koeken on board. So the first thing I did in Chèvremont was find a backery. After getting croissants I headed for the german border, wandered through the Worm Valley and eventually ended up in Grube-Adolf-Park Merkstein and enjoyed the view from it's 245m. high snow-covered halde. On the slippery frozen mountain track I realized it wasn't such a good idea to have bought the bottle of wine for AJ before the ascension, but you never know when the Getränkenhandel closes on a saturday afternoon in Germany. But the wine made it to The Hague fine.
