rolduc abbey

'bout time I showed you all the monastery I've been hiding in. Rolduc Abbey, at Kerkrade in the Netherlands, in the bit that you didn't realise stuck off the bottom right corner pretending to be Germany. Actually some of it is in Germany. You can be a complete tourist and walk down the street next to the abbey complex with one foot in Holland and one foot in Germany. Somewhat annoyingly (not that I've got time to be there for any longer a time at the mo) I'm now missing a music festival that started today. Many of the rooms were made for music, so I bet it is awesome. The accoustics of the 12th century church especially, but also the rest of the abbey.
