OK, then, now we have pix...........off the plane at 10:30, shopped for a while, took the train into town, and now back in the airport with wi-fi for free, so blogging it for a while......Man, what a cool city. Narrow streets, tons of bicylists, hardly any cars, everyone rides or walks. Walked all over these winding streets, saw the Red Light District (from a distance, honest), shopped at all sorts of stores, but mostly looked and gagged at prices. Absolutely a hopping airport - bigger than SFO, bout like LAX - with a shopping mall in size and different & same stores both inside security and out. Security is just like USA airports, about identical. Paying for things in euro's is the easist, but man the conversion rate and fees suck - so about $20 in credit card charges today.
But the absolute highlight of this trip so far is what occured when I got inside security this afteroon (I'm waiting for my Amsterdam-to-Nairobi, Kenya leg, about 3 hours from now. There's a casino in the airport! Holland Casino. So I stopped in for a little blackjack - minimum 5 Euro's. Started with 24 Euro's in coins, grew it to over 150. Cashed out, went and got a 20-minute chair massage, and bought a neck pillow to sleep on this next flight. NICE !
