We are again in Sneek. It’s good to be here in this town again. It’s like coming home….

It was a very long day. We got up at half past four early in the morning, our plane had to start at 7.10, but we had to wait one hour for the start permission. The flight was ok, the pilot had everything under control. It’s not his fault if I say the flight was not pleasant: on board it was a little bit cold.

The weather in Amsterdam was lovely: the sun was shining. Our programme included sightseeing, the van Gogh museum, the Kattenkabinet, the flower market.

We’re learning how to use the ov-chipkaart. It’s a card for public transport, train, and busses. You can load money on the card, then you have to check in on a train for example at the beginning of your journey, at the end you have to check out. When you check out money is taken from the card.

We had some problems during the travel by the train. The carriages are crowded, it isn’t easy to find a proper place for your luggage. And there are these hybrid trains: the one part goes to Groningen, the other to Leeuwarden. If you don’t find the right part when getting on you have a problem like we had. But we were lucky: the conductor stopped the train only for us so we could get off and wait for the train to Leeuwarden.
