Sunday, May 31. Drizzle.
It was great flight although a bit bumpy at times. The service was great, the food excellent and the seat laying flat enabled me to get several hours good sleep while Fellette watched movies, basically all night.
We were in the hotel room having tea in about 1 3/4 hours after landing. We then napped for a couple of hours and then cleaned up and strolled the streets.
Holland is known as a Progressive country, meaning very liberal about everything. We almost got high wandering the streets that we went on today. The amount of shops selling marijuana is amazing. I am not sure if we just happened to go down a few crazy streets or if this is just accepted here and is not hidden. Same as sex and everything related to it. Maybe we are just dinosaurs and not fully aware of what has happened to the world we were brought up in. It was an interesting walk I must say.
Meanwhile, from a simple tourist point of view the place is amazing. And more amazing is how the residents can live in tiny little houses at street level, or below and have this crazy world buzzing around right outside their windows and doors.
Time difference is nine hours in Holland.
Before takeoff, it is about the only time Fellette will have a drink.
