Another eventful day for the New Europe Students...Kicking it of in good old Germany, the Aachener Cathedral and the Cathedral's treasury were the first point on the agenda. The oldest cathedral on Northern Europe has a lot to offer: it is not only known as the "Imperial Church" that witnessed the coronation for 30 German Kings but also keeps the remaining of Charlemagne, the famous Emperor of the Romans, relics of the bell of Mary as well the loincloth that Christ wore on the cross.
After a tasty lunch break with Aachener Printen, the students continued their journey to Maastricht via the Three Country Corner "Vaalserberg". Being in three countries (Belgium, Germany and the Netherlands) at the same time: wow! In Maastricht, the caves of Mount Saint Pieter, an underground labyrinth of over 20,000 passageways dating back to Roman times, was another highlight of our trip. And what could have been a better way to end the excursion than munching some original Dutch French Fries right on the Maastricht Market Square.Yummi!
