From the 7th to the 14th of April I went on vacation to the South
of Limburg, which is the most southern province of The Netherlands. I
mostly stayed in the area around a town called Valkenburg.
As
always I walked and explored a lot and as always I took a lot of
pictures, be it only with my phone this time, since I did not bring my
camera.
This five part slideshow is an
impression of my vacation. I may give a little comment here and there,
but mostly I want the pictures to speak for themselves. If you have any
questions though, don't hesitate to ask.
I hope you will enjoy traveling with me!

It has it's own cute orchard, so there's that. ;-) |

This was a beautiful valley next to Schin op Geul, a town about 5 km from Valkenburg. |

This is Schaloen Castle. On its grounds is a lovely little café and restaurant. |

This was the morning of my departure. I had to get up very early and got to see the sky slowly turn from night to day. |
And those are all the photographs I have to offer. Well, you know
that's a big fat lie! I made many more of course, but these were my favorites and are also the ones I will print for my travel journal. I will show you the journal when it's really finished which may be a while yet. It's not all that special in itself, but it is a nice tangible reminder of a beautiful trip.
Now I have just one more South Limburg post for you next time, which will not have photographs but a couple of videos, just to give you the full experience, haha! Think of it as a bonus post.
Until then I wish you all a wonderful and artsy day.
