January 20th

So, even though I am trying to win a trip to the North Pole (your votes are welcome, by the way) it's not because I don't get to see any snow at home. Mid-deluge, winter decided to make a comeback.

I just happened to have a riding class today, and it's way out on the edge of town, right by the airport, where there's lots of wilderness. I'm happy I was up before the snow melted off the branches.

Some more photos from that day:

This is where I was glad to have my big tall wellies:



The quickest way for me to get to the stables is to take the bus to the airport and then follow a shortcut around the fence.



The Lodz airport is very small for a city this size, with only one runway and a handful of planes a day, so it's nice to catch one without planning for it.



Like I said...very glad I had my wellies.

Going home.

The trick was not to fly into Amsterdam Schiphol, but to Eindhoven instead. It's much cheaper,even including the train and bus ride you need to get to Amsterdam itself.

I'm glad I shot this picture on film (bad film, too). If it had been digital, the colours would have been more real, but also more boring.

This is not my plane, by the way, I think this one was going to England. But I flew Wizzair, too.


And as a bonus, here is the last photo I took in Amsterdam:
