Trek - Food Truck Festival

 Yesterday we went to TREK - Food Truck Festival, which was in Maastricht this week. And again we were impressed with the organisation, the cosiness, the feeling of this festival in the city park of Maastricht. And of course the food! We had a great burger, a pulled pork burger, some ice cream, southern fried chicken, a chicken tortilla, some cocktails,... Needless to say we had great fun together and some great food.
I love the vibe on food truck festivals - it is friendly, creative, with theater, music and drinks. 
Just people having a good time around some good food. All this family needs for a great Sunday!
Olivia too had a great time running around the park, eating bio-fries, playing with sticks, eating ice cream, and of course dancing with her daddy.

Two weeks ago we went to the Barrio Cantina in Gent and last year to the Food truck festival in Brussels and honestly, we Belgians have a lot to learn from the Dutch in this area, although I hate to say it.

A day and night in Maastricht

My man took me on a last minute shopping weekend to Maastricht.Jeej!
We stayed at the hotel brittanique in the heart of the city / they had L'Occitane guest amenities, an extra that I highly appreciate/
The downstairs of the hotel was an Art Nouveau brasserie that we both really liked.
A few highlights to check out for you:
The bookstore Selexyz Dominicanen in an old church / Taart: a charming coffee & cake place./ Witloof: a Belgian restaurant (unfortunately fully booked on the evening we went, but I took a peek and seems very nice)/ The Kruisheren Hotel, also located in an old church, with a lovebirds bar inside.
And lots and lots of shopping, take the small streets.






























It was a nice family outing!
