Surfing the web in Amsterdam

Cheukyi, Tenzin and I (François) are already in Amsterdam. Afraid of the short time between our two flights in Amsterdam, I decided to try to leave with an earlier flight. Unfortunately they were not able to put all of us on the same one. So Yangchen and Zoe will only arrive here in 4 hours. The good news is that all of our luggage is already here and that there will be more than enough time to transfer it in "our" KLM891 to Chengdu.

Right now, Yangchen and Zoe are enjoying the sun outside of the Brussels terminal while Cheukyi, Tenzin and I are waiting in the transit zone of Amsterdam.
I paid 16€ for a day of wireless internet from KPN. Expensive but it keeps us busy while waiting. Cheukyi lost no time in starting a chat on MSN with her friends.


Later on, we will be able to follow the progression of Yangchen and Zoe and as soon as they arrive here, rush to Terminal 8. The "official" walking distance is 25 minutes but it can be done faster. I did it before when flying to Delhi. My flight from Brussels was delayed and I actually sprinted trough Amsterdam's airport. I was able to make it to the gate in time but not my luggage. You see, that's why I'm not a short connection time lover anymore ;-)
