After a 7.5 hour flight from Chicago, we have finally arrived in Amsterdam, Netherlands for our short layover at Amsterdam Airport Schipol. Our flight was very good from start to finish and actually seemed to go by pretty fast. Thankfully, we decided to upgrade our seats before the trip and it definitely paid off! The extra leg room and service were well worth it.
We now have just over 1.5 hours until we leave Amsterdam and head off to our final destination of Madrid, Spain. This airport is actually really cool and super eco-friendly and green all around. There are a wide variety of fresh produce and fruit stands scattered throughout the entire airport. Besides McDonald's, there isn't really that much unhealthy food choices to be seen here which is a much different sight than back in the United States. As I type this post up, I am sitting amongst trees and an outdoor seating patio for travelers to use.
While we wish we could stay in Amsterdam a little longer to explore the city, we are eager to arrive in Madrid and begin our stay there. Once we arrive, we will have to find our checked bags, exchange our currency, pickup our transit passes and then figure out how the Metro System works so we can get to our hotel. Oh, yeah, we also are attending a futbol match later tonight at 10:05PM local time. It is a super late kickoff, but it will be a truly unique experience. More to follow once we arrive in Madrid!
