It’s 7 hours by train from Berlin to Amsterdam and we enjoyed every minute. We arrived just in time for a Dutch dinner and ate at an Indonesian-French fusion restaurant on the street, as is typical in Europe. The street-eating part, that is.
Our apartment is luxurious, right on the canal in the Jordaan District, just steps from good food, good transport and good sightseeing. Our final few hours on the Continent consisted, however, of trying to keep cool in this 30 degree heat.
It’s Thursday morning here. We fly to Vancouver today and arrive an hour after we depart. Although that sounds easy, the 10 hours in a metal tube and 9 hour time change does presesnt challenges for us but it’s all worthwhile for the experience of travel.
I ran across some travel wisdom yesterday in a passing conversation.
“The world is a book. If you don’t travel, you read only a page.”
