We made it...to Amsterdam





Made it to Amsterdam, first leg of our journey completed.  Was a long flight-10 hours-but the free, in-flight movies helped pass the time.  Only 2 seats in our row, so easy to get up & stretch wo disturbing others. Couldn't check our 3 duffel bags w medical supplies all way through to Nairobi, so had to claim them, go through customs (a breeze), find an XL locker (a bit of a challenge), then store them until tomorrow AM when we'll pick them up for our next flight to Nairobi.  Didn't actually go in to Amsterdam but to nearby Haarlem, an easy 40" bus ride.  This is a old, beautiful town of canals, brick & cobble stone lined streets, a gorgeous Gothic cathedral, and a historic WINDMILL! Staying at B&B where we have an entire apt to ourselves!  Now, off to find dinner in town.
