Amsterdam to Toronto

We have mixed emotions today. Sorry to leave such a wonderful river cruise, but happy to go home.

We said our good byes to the new friends we made. Everyone seemed to be going in different directions.

The Avalon transfer bus took us to the Room Mate (yes that is the name) hotel. We relaxed a bit, had tea for Joe and Dan, cappuccino for Jane and plain old coffee for Bonnie. Not the stuff you get at a "coffee house" but the stuff you get at a cafe.

The transfer bus picked us up and transported us to the Amsterdam airport. Up to the priority lounge for a bite to eat and a glass of beer or wine to await our flight to Toronto. About a half hour before boarding time, we went down to the departure gate as per the boarding pass.  Joe looked up at the screen and it said Bangkok!  We looked around and felt sure that flight was indeed headed for Bangkok, not Toronto.  After some searching we finally found out the correct gate and arrived in time to catch our flight.

Wonderful flight on KLM to Toronto in business class. Lots of room and seats recline all the way for sleeping. We spent the night at the Sheraton Hotel at terminal 3. Laurie and Rob came to meet us at 10:30 this morning and Dan and Jane caught a limo home to Orillia.

Another great experience!!!
