Antwerp to Amsterdam - 9 Nov 2023

While I am sad to be leaving Belgium, I am so excited to see Dörte. I packed my stuff, summoned up the courage to get my bags down those stairs. Which I did with no falls or heart attacks.

I lugged my stuff to the train station and took a train to Amsterdam Centraal station. I got a picture of the windmill this time.

Here is my route.

I arrived in Amsterdam Centraal station. There just happened to be a Starbucks, so I grabbed a mocha and enjoyed the view with a friendly local.

Since I had to get to the hotel to start working, I got an Uber. The driver was great and was very interested in American politics, which I find embarrassing.

We are staying at the Best Western Amsterdam. It's a quick train ride to downtown and so much cheaper. The hotel room was ready, so I got to check in early.

Dörte arrived finally. 16 years is too long to not see someone you love.

She brought a feast with her. I even tried the liver wurst.
