Another day in the office for Dad and the rest of the family geared up for a cruise down the Maas river to Liege in Belgium. It is about a 2 hr cruise each direction with 2 hours to tour around Liege. Liege is more industrial and not quiet as picturesque as Maastricht or Aachen. However the reports were the cruise was enjoyable (despite all the commentary being in Dutch) and they got their stairs in at the city.
When I return from work - everybody is geared up to head into the city and go eat. My suggestion of a night in and boiling up some pasta is met with a chorus of boos. I think the fact that Euro's look like monopoly money is sending us down the wrong path.
There are endless options to eat in Maastricht with most of them having both inside and outside dining. Although the restaurants are diverse in their food, they are united in their goal to give out as little non-alcoholic liquid as possible. If you order a beer or wine you get a reasonable size for a reasonable price. However if you order a soda or water, they bring you a bottle that they stole from the "Honey I Shrunk the Kids" set. Granted the tubs of soda that we roll out in the US are obscene but only supplying 6oz of liquid with a meal seems to violate the Geneva convention. And don't even bother asking for ice as they will gaze at you as if you were wearing a 'Make America Great Again' hat.
