Staying at the airport Ibis hotel. Inexpensive but clean and good value. And they have a free shuttle service to and from the airport. And there is a train station at the airport, which will take you to Central Station and the heart of Amsterdam.
Ɓut miserable weather here in Amsterdam. First day in over a month that we experienced rain. We went out to explore but just didn’t feel like doing anything. We went to the Reijks Museum but it was way too crowded. Could not really enjoy it so we left. That is the problem with traveling now. Too many people….everywhere. So we decided to return to our hotel. We leave for home tomorrow, 26th October.
By the way. Amsterdam is super expensive. And they nickel and dime you to death here. You pay for everything. A cup of tea will cost you 8 cdn dollars, coffee around 10. Beer about 13. Club sandwich 25. So bring money if you come here.
Soon to be home. This has been one fantastic trip in spite of Amsterdam’s expense. The Camino was great as was Lisbon and the other places we travelled to. But as the old saying goes there is no place like home.
Thanks for being a part of the journey.
Out for awhile. Read ya sometime later and may all your Caminos be great ones.
So long Chester. May you rest in peace. You will be missed.

Welcome back home, we just had our first snow fall and it was zero out this morning. Survived our first winter storm with minor power outages and gas has gone down to 179.9 but that won’t last.
Wow. Hey dave I have to get my system blown out. Can you help me with that when i get home?
I know you are sorry to see your trip coming to an end, but, as you say there is no place like home! As Russ used to say “I’ll enjoy every lump in my mattress!”.
See you in the new year! 2024, ready or not, here we come!
Love and hugs,
Margaret
lol? That is so right.
