Hello Everyone!
I am creating this blog as a record of my travel activities. This will begin with my arrival in Europe for the first time and hopefully progress from there as I move onto bigger/numerous adventures.
Limburg, the town of Well to the Kasteelean 20. I am extremely excited and relieved to be here!
The grounds are incredible; I am located just off the main passageway (or brick corridor) looking out over the inner moat of the castle. I am also located directly across from the bell tower, which though lovely, does continue to chime bells all through the night.
The castle is from the 14th century. It has a double moat, winding turrets and amazing fields of corn, blueberries and rose bushes next to it. It is a most picturesque place. There are black swans which swim in the moat, two horses who live just across the Voetpad (footpath) from the castle and everyone in the town of Well owns bikes instead of cars.
The town itself is composed of one restaurant, one butcher shop, one grocery store and one Inn. None of these places are open after 17:00 or open on weekends. I can already tell that the life-pace here will take some adjusting to. But I do not believe it will be a bad thing.
