Chasing Trains





The Pictures are for some reason appearing in reverse order.
Bottom Picture: Carmen after we realized we were in Luxembourg!
Middle Picture: View from our Amsterdam Hotel
Top Picture: Finally enjoying Amsterdam at dinner

It has been a long hard day but WE MADE IT TO AMSTERDAM! 
We checked out of the hotel around 9 this morning and headed to the Tube station.  Right after we were about to swipe our Oyster Card, the hotel called to tell us they found Carmen’s Ipod under the bed.  So then Carmen ran there and back.  We made it to our connecting international Eurostar train where we were treated like princesses.  We had a full free(!) breakfast which consisted of pastries, yogurt, omelet, fruit, coffee, orange juice, and wine!  We were thinking we had it smooth sailing that is until we got on the wrong train in Brussels.  We did not realize this, seeing how everything was announced in another language, until we made it to our destination in LUXEMBOURG.  So, we found a train back to Brussels and started back at square one.  It set us back a few hours.   Now we are here in Amsterdam, starved and ready to explore, it’s 10pm and the sun is still out!  Off we go!

Carmen’s Spill Count: 3

    That view from your hotel was so beautiful. Is that water at the far end? So peaceful looking. Glad you both made it to the Amsterdam alright. At least you can now added Luxemburg to your destination list. LOL
