Amsterdam

(Please note this post was made 2017-04-04). Sorting my old photos, and now I've reached my summer trip of 2014. During the July, I've travelled two times to Amsterdam, first by plane, second time by train. In this post I'll cover my flight from Copenhagen to Amsterdam.

 The distance of about 800km can be covered with train, taking more than 11h, or a flight taking 1h20min. Today I would probably would choose the first alternative, but back in 2014 I decided to fly. Later in July 2014, I would actually make same trip by train.

 First, some photos from Copenhagen airport Kastrup
