So my flight was delayed for 2-1/2 hours yesterday, and I spent a bunch of time bitching about it.
Because I had to spend three hours in the Detroit Delta club lounge (they’ve got four of them in Detroit) eating and drinking, and then when I got onto the plane – in the front row, the Premium Select cabin – there were only three of us in the seven-seat row, so we got to spread out.
I’m embarrassed and will quit bitching. In the meantime, I got into Amsterdam at around 1:30PM local time; found the right train the first time, and got to Antwerp a little after 4PM.
Hilton Antwerp Old Town had bumped me up to the Executive Suites, which means I got free drinks and appetizers.
I didn’t get much time to walk around because I’m exhausted. But here are some pictures, and of course more to come tomorrow. I just love cities like this. Interesting people, all kinds of languages, and so pedestrian friendly. Well, for certain small values of pedestrian friendly. You will not be run over by a car. You will very possibly be run over by a scooter or a bicycle.
Looks like the start to this trip is starting of well and you should continue on that path! You have reached your destination and you are gonna love it! Can’t wait to see the rest of the photos!
