Yesterday we left Aachen. First stop was to the nearby 'Three-Country Point' where Germany, The Netherlands and Belgium meet. Our friendly Tom Tom or GPS navigator first brought us from the German sector but ended up in someones gate. We then re-programmed Tom Tom, and this time brought us into The Netherlands before going round into Belgium to bring us yet again to another dead-end. We then gave up. It's a shame not able to go to visit this place. A lesson for us, don't leave home without a map. With all the modern trappings we started to rely too much on machines and gadgets. In the past, a map is all you need, and in my profession that is my speciality anyway.We then headed to this factory outlet in Belgium which is 30 minutes away. We have never been here but heard others saying that it is worthwhile a visit. So out of curiosity we went there. The Maasmechelen Factory Outlet was a bit disappointing. Although large, there was hardly any visitors, the brands were not well known and the discounts were far in-between. So we immediately headed to our favourite outlet in Roermond, a 30 minutes drive away. It's a world apart. The parking lot was jam-packed. There's a lot of shoppers and real frenzy atmosphere here. The sale were really crazy. One could get up to 70% discount. It is afterall post Christmas clearance.
