Had a uneventful flight over the pond and arrived in Amsterdam Friday morning around 7:30 AM. Would have liked more sleep but even with an Ambien wasn't able to get a decent stretch of sleep.
Caught the train from Amsterdam to Antwerp, visited the Ruben's House, had a bite to eat, a few sips of Joe's beers at the Kulminator (great atmosphere with trestle tables, comfy chairs, classical music and wonderful selection of Belgian beers). Then caught the subway across the river to pick up my race packet. Most confusing subway I've ever been on in my life - very poor signage so requires lots of questioning of fellow passengers to ensure the correct direction of travel. Packet pickup was easy as was T-shirt pickup. Nice bright red T-shirt for the marathon runners and it's a technical shirt so it will get worn. Everyone very friendly.
So, the challenge remaining is to get enough sleep between now and Sunday and get my digestive system on track. Drink lots of water and keep the legs rested. Pass on the Belgian beer after a few more sips tonight at dinner and likewise on the Belgian chocolates!
