What about the water plane?.
We should all rent aircraft, 5 sites for U.S. dollars 370.00's, 30 minutes.
As the airplane for the first time we see is only one free.
We left at the front desk to register and search for three other fly along.
Well, no one wants to take on this adventure, we will cancel the charter, then the next time.
The Lodge is highly recommended, especially in this beautiful weather and the daily rate of € 130.00 worthy.
We leave the hotel and make our way to the airport, return the car works fine.

Our machine
bye "Marie Curie", a good experience
As in a different situation here in Amsterdam, the queues at the immigration control is far too long. Is there a reasonable order, no, too little space, and many passengers on intercontinental flights.
If something can be improved, then that is my clear recommendation.

The beautiful rest area on the first floor is the place for my son to work up to some of the lack of sleep.
I sleep at night and as always I am awake Day, so I
