cruising

The last day away. We had to be out of the apartment late afternoon, so we had most of the day to amuse ourselves in the city. 

After 3 days of footslogging it around pubs and museums, I suggested (at great cost to the travel budget) a canal trip.

I’ve done it before, but Dr D hasn’t. It was grand. Very sedate.

We hopped off for lunch. I tried yet another Dutch delicacy - pea and ham soup. It was great, especially on a cold, grey January day.

I’m now sitting in Schiphol Airport waiting for the flight home. It is delayed by 90 minutes. I will need a taxi from the airport as the last of the public transport may have stopped by then. An extra hour waiting is bad enough without the travel budget taking another big hit.
