Travelling to and arriving in Europe

 

Travelling began with being driven to Toronto airport. I thought we had lots of time until we got to Milton and the highway was a dead stop. A bit of a delay but we had allowed lots of time, so we were ok.
We went into security and we were pulled over and Greg got checked. It put us in a shorter line so I was happy. Greg forgot the water in his water bottle so he had to go back and dump it. We found the lounge.  This is the way to go, especially when it is free. A hot meal, beer or wine, snacks and comfy chairs in a quiet atmosphere.
Went downstairs for boarding and found we got on first. It was a good flight to Iceland and they used two doors for exits so we got off first as well. A slight mixup sent us to the wrong gate but the proper one was only 2 gates away.
We arrived in Amsterdam on time. Construction in the airport was confusing but everyone was very helpful, even the bus driver who called out our hotel for us. After exploring the area and finding pizza and dessert we returned to the hotel and fell asleep. It is tiring translating the toppings on a pizza. We will head into central Amsterdam tomorrow morning. We are staying in the sticks.
