8.5 hours later we land in Amsterdam. Mum you were right, the duty free if you can call it just that is ridiculous, there is a mall in an airport... I apparently was the only one that thought that was loopy.
The flight here wasn't so bad, shoulder pain held off on anything other then 1 hour sleep which was interrupted by the lights on, apparently when they turned the lights off at 7pm Toronto time you're supposed to sleep till midnight and then get up and be ready to go for 6+ hours in Amsterdam, not bad, arrived at 2am Toronto time and continued onto a cold pizza slice and a soda for my "midnight" snack. Oh and mental note don't drink "Chocomel" thank you Stephanie for the guinea pig there!
Sitting drinking coffee with 2 gold medalists isn't a bad start to a day, although it is completely intimidating hearing all of there stories and normal life stuff... "ya i train and drive $500,000 bobsled and I drive the best Canadian bobsled in 7 years" and "I have $15,000 ski's and i train and have a major pump up song", steph is at ease and all I'm sitting here thinking is... I take care of horses.... 6 days a week, and i play volleyball and drink beer on Wednesday's? Haha, talk about a really exciting life huh?
They can have they're travel and million dollar gear i say, I got my HUD :)
10.5 hours to go to Kigali, Rwanda then bed.... Very good bed hopefully! Not positive I'll sleep on the plane but not worried about it too much, free movies, free booze and a comfy seat, good deal? I think so.
Till i land in Kigali, thats all for now. (aka - yes mum I'm fine still)
For those who are worried about me, love you very much and I'll have pictures up real soon I'm sure.
Cheers from Amsterdam international airport
