Airline or Eatline

Finally the day was there. The day that our vacation would start. Packing was done, suitcase way beneath the maximum weight(for now)

My dad offered to drive us to the train station and after we picked up Lianne he drove us there. We had to wait a little bit but soon we boarded the train that took us straight to Amsterdam airport. Check in went smooth, self-service bagage went smooth. We passed the bomb and powder test with flying colors. We went straight to Starbucks and rewarded ourselves with a nice cup of coffee and a blueberry muffin for Lianne and some banana bread for me..

After constantly checking the gate we went to E 17 and when we arrived there they changed it to D42. You have any idea how large Amsterdam airport is? Wow.

It was time to board and we found out we had to go by bus to our aircraft.  Thatś so old Fashioned but it went still smooth. We had bus nr 1. THey let us wait for 10 minutes in a packed bus where the temperature was rising. Even the bus driver asked why we could not board. But finally the doors open and we could board the aircraft. We had perfect seats with lots of room for our legs. Ideal for my knee ofcourse.

We left the airport on schedule and once we had the cruising altitude we got drinks and chips and cookies. 

During the flight  I watched Aladdin and Mary Poppins returned. 

Time for dinner...a big plate full with the honey glazed chicken with mash potatoes and carrots as hot meal. A salad, crackers, cheese, a pretzel roll and as dessert Lemon Caramel cheesecake. DELICIOUS.

Another movie and we got a hot cookie. Some hours later close to landing we got a Turkey cheese croissant and an ice cream (do you understand the title now?)

But it tasted very good!

We had a bumpy ride but all and all it was smooth

After the plane was at the gate we went straight to custums which was very relaxed.  We had to  wait for a little while for our suitcase but they were there too. Yes smooth!!

We had to wait a little for our taxi which took us to the hotel. I booked a 30 min. grocery stop underway and we bought some water and soda at the Publix.

Finally we were at the hotel. Impressive. Large rooms, very need and clean.

After we settled in we had a small meal at the IHOP and we walked back to the hotel. Time to go to sleep....Goodnight, Goodmorning, see you tomorrow....
