(Sunday, Sept. 27) We've now been on the road for four weeks, one day in the air between San Francisco and London, and 27 days in Europe. We've got four days to go.
Tomorrow will be spent sightseeing in Amsterdam where the weather has apparently been unseasonably warm and dry (and even if that doesn't continue, we have a "Plan B" to stay warm and dry indoors at the two major museums just a block from our hotel). Tuesday we'll be on the train or in train stations for a good part of the day as we travel from Amsterdam to London. Wednesday will be our last day "on tour" --- we may go up to Windsor for a final "castle" day, or just check out sights we still haven't gotten around to visiting during our previous stays in London.
We'll be out the door of our London hotel around 6:30 am Thursday, October 1st (10:30 pm Pacific Daylight Time, Wednesday evening, September 30th) on our way to Heathrow to catch an 10:50 am (London time, 1:50 am PDT) flight home (where we should finally drop our bags sometime around 4-5 pm PDT Thursday afternoon.
Later tonight I'll write about today's day trip out of Amsterdam to the town of Haarlem and the big footrace that we stumbled upon when he got there at mid-day. Right now I've got to put a boulder under Sleeping Beauty, Princess Cindy, since the pea I used earlier didn';t work, and wake her from her end of the afternoon nap so we can go to dinner.
