Early in the morning (similar to the last time we visited them!), Thijs and Barbara dropped us off at the train station where we caught the train to Schipol Airport.
Our Air Canada flight stopped at Heathrow Airport in London where we spent a couple of hours browsing the airport shops and eating lunch. Britain is very expensive and the pound is currently very strong. Two sandwiches and fries, a coke and a coffee cost us about $50 CDN! Yikes! That's about twice what it would have cost at an airport in Canada!
