Europe 2016 - Day 16 - from ship to Amsterdam

We got up early. Went down to eat doughnuts before getting our bus to Central London. The traffic was awful so the 2 hour trip took about 2 3/4 hours. Then we had to get a cab to go over to our train station. We got there wit about 20 minutes to spare - found our train - so all was good. We spent so much time in tunnels we really weren't sure when we went through the Chunnel. Somehow, there should have been signs or announcements or something. Next thing we knew we were stopping in Calais! We were very late getting into Brussels and signage was not good. But, we huffed and puffed and found our train platform with maybe 5 minutes to spare. Then the platform lady told us that the platform had changed and we had to hoof it down and up to another platform. Poor Lori has a gimpy ankle so this was not fun for her! The train was about half an hour late leaving Brussels so we won't get into Amsterdam until about 7:30 - a really long day! Well, it was a really long day - but we did get here eventually.
