From Maastricht

The Train was Full

We had quite the adventure on the train hide home from Maastricht to The Hague.   We missed the train we wanted from the castle to Maastricht, so we had to run for the train to The Hague.   The train was full because it was rush hour.  We found a seat for Nana but they rest of us were in the hallway.  So the boys went to stand by Nana and at the next stop, Aunt Elizabeth, Bella and Mommy took our three suitcases and six other bags along the platform to another carriage.  Bella and Aunt Elizabeth found two seats and Mommy went back down the train to get us.  Ironically, many people had left our carriage and we had four seats together all to ourselves.  So Mommy went to get our picnic dinner from Aunt Elizabeth.

In Eindhoven we had two minutes to get off our train, walk across the platform, and get on the train to The Hague.  Mommy went to help Aunt Elizabeth and Bella with the luggage.  We stayed with Nana.  The conductor was blowing his whistle as we got on one end of a carriage and Mommy was tossing suitcases onto the other end of it.  But we found seats all together and had a calm ride the rest of the way.
