Back to Amsterdam

We are back from the trip. Like Paris (and even London), there is a bus service to get to the airport. Most of the tourists here are using it. It is actually very convenient and only takes 30 minutes to the airport. The bus pick-up is right at a corner of the Plaza de Catalunya which is next to our hotel. When I checked out how it works, there was a long queue at the bus stand. But then the bus leaves every 6 minutes so there is no risk of being left out.

Finding halal restaurants here is quite easy. There are mostly located along the streets called Carrer de l'Hospital, Carrer de I'Arc de Sant Agusti and Carrer de Sant Pau, all are next to the La Rambla. There are at least a couple of Pakistan/Indian restaurants and a few Moroccans. Of course one could try the Spanish national dish, the pealla, which is a rice dish, but we only opted for Pakistan's curry!

The kids will still have a week or so to go on their school break. While yours truly is back to the donkey work in the office tomorrow.
