Amsterdam travel day

Travel day to Amsterdam today. The flight itself was nice, but would have been a bit nicer if the person in front of me wasn’t in full recline most of the trip. Also, was a bit weird in that there were so many people standing in the aisles… and not just waiting for the restroom… like, it was a thing.

I had text access on the flight which was nice. Madison was arriving a hour before me so just waited at the airport.

We hopped on the train from the airport to Centraal station… easy peasy. Then a bit of a walk to the apartment… a beautiful, 400 year old house by a canal.

We did some walking and exploring, mainly trying to stay awake. Finally went to a seafood place for lunch before resting a bit.

OK… struggling to stay awake… so more walking. We finally decided to grab a bite for dinner at a Lebanese place we smelled before we saw earlier and eat in the apartment.

The next few hours were easier to stay awake as they were filled with frantic texts with Abigail dealing with a two hour delayed first leg.

We decided on a nightcap (even though at 10pm it’s still light) at the Flying Dutchman before finally hearing both Bailley and Abigail were on their flight and the collapse could commence.
