After sleeping for more than 14 hours, I am feeling a little more alive and alert. It is now Monday evening and I have spent the day in bed after arriving at the Lawson's at 4am this morning.
So lets recap Amsterdam and then arrival into Egypt...
after the Anne Frank house we had lunch at the cafe there and then did a little souvenir shopping. This is when I realized that my VISA card was not working... hmm? Anyway I was blessed as Marjon and Gerbin took care of it. We then walked and talked to one of the canals where we took an hour long canal tour all the way to the North Sea. Very cool view of the city from the water. After the canal tour, we did a bit more walking past the palace and then we sat and enjoyed mint tea and snacks for afternoon tea before getting back on the trolly to takes us back to Olympic park to get the car and return to the airport.
Check in went really smoothly. Ended up getting a few little souvenirs for friends and did some more walking until I sat down to write and kept nodding off. At Schipol airport you don't get your carry on bags scanned until you are at the gate ready to board. Interesting!Made it to Egypt in 5 hours. Joe and Lori had a guy waiting for me so security and everything went super fast. It was so helpful in getting the visa I needed and of what they said super cheap!
On the drive back to their house, there were very few people on the road and those that were... very few had lights on. The reason: They find it offensive to shine their headlights at others. LOL!
