Arrived Safely in Amsterdam

We arrived safely in Amsterdam today. It was an uneventful journey, which is always a good thing. We flew over on a Boeing 777-300 with KLM. What a huge plane. It boggles the mind that something that big and that heavy, with that may people on board can actually lift off the ground. The plane has 63 rows, and apart from Business Class and a few rows at the back of the plane, there are 10 seats across. That's a lot of people.

We landed in Amsterdam almost a half hour early - at 6:30 am. The sun was just coming up and we flew over some amazing tulip fields on our descent into Amsterdam ... beautiful. We had a fabulous dinner tonight at a small little restaurant called "Humphrey's" ... it was very good. We then walked a few miles after dinner, and are now settled back at the hotel. It will be an early evening to catch up on some rest before the rest of the weekend. You can already feel the party-vibe on the streets with all the extra 'imports' into the city for Queen's Day on Monday.
