Because of its curious location, Maastricht makes an ideal homebase for those who want to see something of this area of the Netherlands, as we found on our trip to Europe in 2000. We visited a specially placed stone monument that marks the spot where three countries meet: the Netherlands, Belgium and Germany. Most everyone walks around this marker so they can claim to have visited three countries in under 10 seconds! Never one to miss a unique experience, I did it — amusing even in the rain.
