I am now in Middenmeer!

I left our office at 3.30 pm today and took a cab to Paddington train station. Traffic was fairly heavy already (it must be really bad during rush hour) and it took more than 30 minutes to get to the station.

From there I took the Heathrow Express and it was less than 20 minutes to the airport. It took a while to check in: there were long lanes and there was some hassle because my bags were 10 pounds heavier than the allowance. In the end I didn't have to pay a surcharge and around 6.45 pm we left for Amsterdam!

I am taking a few days off and I'm staying with my parents in Middenmeer. Jaap and Mieke came to pick me up from the airport and it was great to see them again. For dinner I had sandwich with Dutch cheese and a Grimbergen beer.

In the train to Heathrow.
