Flight was too long but watched a couple of films. Fogged in at Schipol and plane had to go to Maastricht to fuel up and go back to Amsterdam. A waiting for me and glad I finally got there but not half so glad as me. Amsterdam hasn't changed a bit!
Woke up at 3 am and of course was hungry - managed to wait until 6 and made myself a cup of jo and visited with the folks who are kind enough to continually put up with my visits!
Jet lag never gets better but after a day wandering shops and gawking I scrutinised the Hema very carefully and bought socks for the kids in SMD in Nepal. A checked out the train travel and will get train to Ghent on Sat and bus it to Paris on Monday - the savings is significant and the time an extra hour and a half but that's ok. It means 40 euros in my pocket! There is a plan afoot.
Went for a long walk after a lovely meal prepared by MR K and then wandered out past Rijksmuseum and the Heinekin Brewery and then to Tuschinski to see G. Clooney in "The American". Movie was OK - theatre as stunning as ever - bought a Grolsch and took it to my very comfy plush red seat and drank it while watching the film - civilised or what! People did not talk through the film and there were no falling down drunks.
Watching out for those darn cycists tho - they own the roads! Photos tomorrow!
