Amsterdam Centraal

Yes, really. On my last visit to the city in 2013, or was it 2014 I really don't remember, I only passed through the station on a journey from Lelyaan (I doubt that's the right spelling!) to Zwolle.

I will almost certainly be back with more soon, depending on my final plan for Day 4 of my current adventure. Forecast looks grim, so it might be less exercise and more rail stuff!

14/01/2023

Achnashellach
Dingwall

Stay tuned for the epic trip report to be continued in its usual place to find out how these got done! It will be posted soon, I know Day 1 was done a few days ago! I've proof-read it all, but I'm going to re-do that soon. I was going to leave all my lists until I post all 8 days, but given that may take until February and this morning I'm waiting for the weather to warm up a bit, I figured I may as well post the lists now.

I promise you this though, when I am happy with the trip report it will be worth the wait. Spoiler Alert, I got back wanting more of it and I wasn't ready to go back to reality! A far cry from the end of the 7 day First Class ALR!

I also wasn't going to count the Amsterdam stuff here, but given I'm not planning to go back (maybe for a visit to two of the parks, but that's another story for another day) I figured I might as well!

Glad to hear you enjoyed your trip, and looking forward to reading the report.

Welcome to "Club Z", too.

(I've changed trains at Zweilutschinen (Switzerland) more than 50 years ago! Also been to Zurich and Zurich Airport)

Of course, Zurich! I'd forgot about that one! To be fair, it was well over 5 years ago, and I've had some seriously big adventures since then! I've not done Zurich Airport though, I flew in on Ryanair to Basel and then took the train and bus combination to Zurich, ahead of then heading to Tirano on the Bernina Express the following day, connecting onto Milano Centrale. It all seems like so long ago!

I'm going to start reviewing the trip report in a bit, once the phone finishes charging, after a heavy session of musical nostalgia this evening. There ought to be at least Day 2 going up before the night is over!
