So, because we missed our flight in Amsterdam by a grand total of 5 minutes, we got to chill and relax in the airport and city before our flight to Nairobi. Our sudden 10 hour layover was perfect! We got to spend some time on the internet, and do some pretty awesome sightseeing!
We stowed our carry on luggage in lockers and then just asked for a train ticket that would take us near the city center where we ended up spending close to 5 hours just wandering down random streets. I really wanted to see the Anne Frank house and museum, but we never knew where it was so we didn't make it. We did get close when we wandered into the red light district, but that was not intentional.

Look at the awesome tea pot that has DINSEY movies playing inside!!! Could this airport get any cooler?
(maybe it could be if it had more than 30 minutes of free wifi... Just a thought...) |

| The train station |
 |
| Wooden shoes in the windows! |
 |
| I've never seen so many bikes in one city! It was insane, but the city seemed to be extremely rider friendly. |
 |
| We stumbled upon this chip shop which ONLY sold french fries. That's all they did, and they did it very well! |
 |
| We both got the curry frite sauce. YUM! |
 |
| There was interesting architecture everywhere. It was interesting seeing what looked like old churches right next to modern stores. |
 |
| Bubbles!!! |
 |
| Headed back to the airport |
 |
| Great outing/adventure! Would have never thought that a delayed flight could be this great! |
The delay not only allowed us to see Amsterdam and take a break from flying, but it also put us into Nairobi during daylight hours. (pictures/posts from Maxwell soon to come!)
