Back in Amsterdam : August 4, 2013

We were up at 2:45 am this morning in Prague. There was a massive thunderstorm. Lightening right above the Prague airport. A huge storm of rain.

The Prague airport seemed deserted . Tony went in search of coffee.




 I was concerned about the storm, but by the time our plane left at 6:35 am, the skies were clearing. It was only a short flight to Amsterdam . 


Schiphol is quite large but there did not seem to be too many people around. 


At the airport we were met by our cousins Nell and Aad. They drove us to their home in Hellenvoetsluis. It is very pretty here. Lots of lovely homes on the outside of farm country. 


Tiny streets, small parking spots. The homes seem small but when you get inside there is a surprising amount of space.


We went for a walk and saw lots of canals and green space. 


That night, some of my relatives came to visit. I had not seen my cousins for almost fifty years. It was a great evening with lots of talking and visiting.


Tony and Aat discussing cars, etc.


The whole gang! It was a lot of fun! Tomorrow is our last night and then we fly home. The time has gone too fast.
