Day 9: last full day. My Birkenstocks are well worn, my hair has been up for over a week, I don't think I have eaten 3 full meals any day on this trip (meals usually went : 10h pastry, 16h kebab, maybe dinner), my smell is currently eau de marijuana ...not mine...., my face hurts from smiling and my eyes have reached capacity, it is definitely time to go home and process. Today was a peculiar one, we boarded train #1, transferred to #2 and #3 and then 15 min from Amsterdam our train buzzed through a station then started braking right away then stopped. Police quickly filled the track, there had been a jumper. We sat on the train feet from the station for almost 2 hrs. as police and train officials walked back and forth. When we finally arrived at the station the weather had turned chill with a drizzle. We walked the canals one last time, had one last doner...#4 for the trip....and boarded one last train to our hotel, but not before bumming wifi from Starbucks :)
