Out of sequence, a Winx book I bought at the mall before we left Porto. About 11 Euros.



The Homem do Leme statue, right next to the Atlantic Ocean... and a restaurant.



Lunch at the Bar Homem do Leme, with tomato rice, tomatoes, and fried fish.



Some random shopping mall we passed... (okay, it's actually one of the more well-known malls in the Porto area, Norteshopping)



...on the way to the airport. (Look how the 2nd "A" furnishes a flying plane :-) )



World Cup fever in full force even at the airport urinal (!)



Here comes our plane...



And back to Amsterdam we go.



Same sandwich and cake as before...



We land on Schiphol's newest runway, the Polderbaan, which (for noise reasons, apparently) is so far away from the main terminal that our plane has to taxi across not one (Hoofdweg/N520)...



or two (A5) ...



but three (A4) flyovers, just to get to the terminal. The lengthy taxi time is a bane of frequent flyers into and out of Amsterdam, such that this forum for frequent flyers loves to make fun of it.



Video of the landing.



Out of sequence, another Winx comic book I bought at Schiphol. While Mom was okay with the hairband from the Portuguese edition, she wasn't so sure about the goodies that came with this one... Incidentally, the Dutch comic was about twice as expensive as the Portugese (something like 6 Euro to 3 Euro).



Schiphol train station again...



And the train station in Leiden, where we spend our final days in Europe.
