I am finally in Amsterdam after four different flights in three countries spanning 27 hours of travel time! Luckily everything went well, no lost baggage or missed flights this time! I am pretty tired but also happy at how smoothly things went.
It's freezing cold here but I am nice and toasty in my hotel room. I am staying here tonight and meeting my group tomorrow to get the real adventure underway.
I got a few odd looks in the airport carrying my two overstuffed backpacks (one in front and one in back) but it works ok.
My hotel is outside of the city so I don't get to do any exploring tonight. For some incomprehensible reason, the mascot of the place is a Tucan which I don't really understand...
I will try to be better about updating the blog this semester but now I am going to go shower and sleep.
