We left Calgary the afternoon and arrived in Amsterdam airport the next morning after a 8.5 hour flight. We had a printed our boarding passes Monday evening but couldn’t get seats together. Fortunately the agent at the gate was able to get us together in row 39. After a good flight which included 2 meals (the first included wine) we landed a half hour early. However, after a very long taxi, an a long walk to our bags (there was no line up at customs) and then waiting for our bags we used up all that saved time and more. Jan and Gerda were waiting for us in the arrivals area. After coffee we drove to the National Aviation Aviodrome in Lelystad. The first thing we noticed was how lush and green the countryside was compared to Alberta. The museum had some very interesting exhibits regarding the history of aviation in the Netherlands. Afterwards Jan & Gerda drove us to Joop & Jennie’s where we are staying for the next 4 days. After supper we visited Charlie’s Auntie Annie and Uncle Jan. Auntie Annie broke her leg 5 weeks ago, has a cast from her hip to her toe and needs to stay in bed for 7 more weeks. Returning to Joop and Jennie’s we could not keep our eyes open. After being up 31 hours we went to bed.

Looks like things are going well. I’ve had a good time in Kelowna and will head south (stopping in Penticton) and then east today.
