Amsterdam

SFO777jr visited us for a few days during our month in Paris.   At the end of his stay, we spent a couple of days in Amsterdam.  Thalys is a great way to travel, today from Gare du Nord to Amsterdam Central.  And WiFi. 

Off to 

Heineken break time.

The next morning Jr and I headed out for the Heineken tour.

Or so we thought.  Bummer.

Although I bought our return ticket in Paris, I incorrectly assumed that it would be valid in Amsterdam.  Duh, apparently not.  Since I didn't get our BP at Gare du Nord, it was uselsss here.

After a 45 minute wait in queue, I got to the counter.

Where I bought another ticket.

And got a note so I could get a refund back in Paris.

Finally with our tickets, we headed to the track.

And our comfy ride back "home" while Jr. took the airport train.
