The end is nigh

Well we have arrived back in Amsterdam and making good to fly home to Australia tomorrow via Dubai.
Of course as we left Copenhagen, the weather was stunning with an expected temperature of 21 degrees - this is the last of the indian summer days they can expect I imagine.
The only problem with flying is the amount of time in the lead up to, the last minute gate changes and the trudge at the arrival gates to collect luggage and clear customs.  The flight was full, but with only a one hour flying time, that was ok.

We arrive at Schipol Airport and begin the very lengthy taxi to the gate - I got a giggle out of the thought of this being one hell of a big taxi cab!  At one point, the air hostess made an announcement about the driving, driving, driving to our gate.  She advises that it is a 7 km ride.
Finally we arrive and the plane disgorges the passengers and when we reach the baggage claim - as luck would have it, at the far end of the airport, there are not only our bags on the carousel, but 6 other flights as well.  Again, as luck would have it, our bags are in the last lot.  At least by the time we had collected them, most of the hordes had disappeared.

The final few souvenirs bought, we catch a cab to our hotel - another Tesla - Donna is thrilled. It amazes her that all the cabs are luxury cars. Our first Tesla taxi driver had explained that the running costs are so much less with the Tesla, that it pays the taxi company to make the initial purchase investment. 

The lines for taxis and the traffic from the airport today is unbelievable.  Turns out that the Congress is meeting in The Hague at the moment!

Anyway, its been a great trip, all the better because I have been able to share it with Donna.
Hope you all enjoyed coming along for the ride.  Catch you all when we are back in Oz.

Over and out (again).
