Flew into Amsteredam at 7am yesterday (Thursday)....but my luggage remained in Montreal, Canada...long story short NWA didn't tell the passengers on the plane that we needed to go get our luggage and recheck it in Montreal to Amsterdam. Grr. Good news is...I made it here and had packed a change of clothes in my carry on that I had for yesterday :) Between that and Matts t-shirts it is no big deal.
We spent the day in Scheveningen yesterday, it is about 40 minutes from Amsterdam and where Matt lives. He has a great place and we walked everywhere. One does not need a car here, which I love. We walked to the ocean and had breakfast - way too much food for two people! 
We then came back to his place and I crashed for 2 hours. Got up and headed to Amsterdam...although on the walk to the train station, we got a phone call from his friend Lou, who said we should stay and hang out on the beach as it was a holiday here and everyone was out...so we did :) We headed back to the beach and walked around, did some shopping and ate lunch...had a Turkish Pizza YUMMY! (forgot to take pic - sorry foodies!)
Headed back here to drop off bags of stuff I bought (hair care I replaced to get ready in the morning)...and ended up sitting out on his patio talking and drinking wine (ok I had all the wine)the rest of the night - it was a great evening. I slept for about 11 hours and now am ready to take on Amsterdam :)
KLM text me today and said my luggage has arrived and will be here today between 2-6...err, we will be in Amsterdam at that point fo rthe day and into the evening and we haven't figured out what the plan is yet to get it....hopefully they will just leave it?
Hope you all have a wonderful Friday :)
