Amsterdam plane spotting.


Recommended Posts

Just come back from having a long weekend in Amsterdam.
Photos were only taken about 4 hours at Schipol Airport, Amsterdam, whilst waiting for my flight back to LHR.
There is a good observation platform ontop of the terminal building that gives you quite a good view over the airfield.

I was checking out hotel prices for Amsterdam as I haven't been over there for about 6 years. My how things have changed...hard to find a decent hotel in the Central area for less than £100 a night now. I had some good times there in the early naughties when the Pound was strong against the Guilder and then the Euro...but now it's just not competitively priced anymore. I guess they are still flush with tourists though from all the Eastern European countries that have been opened up...but perhaps they are not so keen on the Russians anymore after recent events.

 

Still I had a pretty good run there for a few years but I can't see the good old days returning in time for me to enjoy. I do see parallels with Thailand the way it is developing and prices are changing....

 

Time to enjoy Thailand to the full...because the good times (and by that I mean it's affordability) won't last much longer.
