DAY 44: FRI 5 OCT - AMSTERDAM

Raining (still!) and windy, 8-14deg

Wendy had to go to a breakfast appointment early so I slept in till about 9:00am, which is the latest I've slept for years.   Didn't feel like going out in the rain so just did my exercises, some washing and relaxed for a while.  Didn't need breakfast as I was still full from all the snacks at the Officers’ Mess the previous night.  

Eventually I went for a walk to find a bike box for the trip home.  Found a bike shop that said they would have a box after trying two others without any luck.  But I had to go back after a couple of hours.   Headed back in towards the motel and got a text from Wendy to say she was going back to change for tonight. So, I went back to the motel to spend some time with her.  Shortly afterwards Wendy left for the conference.

I then went and picked up the bike box which was huge.  I like just riding around in the trams so after a nice roast chicken and salad at V&D, (like Myers) that is what I did for a few hours. Saw the outskirts of Amsterdam.   I turned 62 years young today.
