Saturday, 26 Mar - Amsterdam
Found myself - funnily enough after having planned this trip for about 6 months - still writing down the addresses of some of the places we'd booked in Aus & NZ an hour before leaving for Schiphol airport. Nice to know where we're going.
We gravitate slowly to the usual check-double-check routine, worrying about what we are going to forget and temporarily blind to the fact that our various destinations also have shops.
It's just about freezing and threatening to snow, contrasting nicely with the expected 25-35c Bangkok should offer.
I have a habit of breaking a fingernail on flights and luckily get it over quickly this time while closing the front door, just in time to grap a nailfile and give myself a manicure while Marlies and Carolien drive us the 15 min to the airport for our first of 11 flights, the 1915 to Heathrow transferring to Bangkok on a Qantas/BA co-production.
Nice little touch, it says World Traveller on our boarding passes, and don't we feel it!
