We managed to drag ourselves out of bed early around 6:30am this morning to rally for the airport. Of course it was very easy - our hotel was really nice and checking out was simple. Then on to the Tram, then the Train, now "Amsterdam Cafe" at the airport for coffee, cappucino, ham sandwich and an "english breakfast."
Our flight leaves in about an hour and a half, followed by 10 glorious hours on a 747. My coccyx already hurts. :(
Oh, and today's my birthday. 39 years young. I'm not officially an oldster until next year, right?
Yesterday afternoon was rather quiet. We did a lot of walking around, but nothing really specific.
We went to a nice chinese restaurant for lunch after a juice or two at a coffee shop or two. We ordered the same dish we ordered at the Indonesian restaurant but with cantonese dishes instead. And of course a beer. Delicious!
We also ran into our friend Mitch on our way back to the hotel and met his husband-to-be (they're getting married! Because you CAN in Amsterdam). He's really happy and is thrilled to be living in Amsterdam again, saying that he needed to get out of San Francisco and that he's really happy working on his art and going to school here. Sounds like a great life and it was great to see him looking so happy and healthy.
We found a great little cafe for a dinner of chicken sate, gorgonzola raviolis and of course, beer. Then back to the hotel for our early night of rest, and now here we are at the airport.
Hard to believe it's already time to come back. Oops, gotta run - time to get to the plane!
