Our flight out of Freetown was uneventful and everything went according to plan. We enjoyed our last Star beer in the airport restaurant and opted to not pay extra to sit in the VIP lounge, although the comfy couches were inviting.
It's so good to be back in Holland. It's been too long. I couldn't sleep on the train because I didn't want to miss any of the sights. It really reminded me of travelling Europe, except this time instead of a well packed backpack I had two large and heavy suitcases. Not ideal for train travel in Europe, in fact my suitcases caused me to miss one of my trains as I couldn't run from one track to another fast enough. I saw the train pulling away just as I arrived on the platform. Thankfully another train left 30 min. later and my cousin only had to wait an extra 10 minutes for me.
For some reason I was confused about dates and I thought that today was Thursday and that I only had one full day in Holland, but today is Wednesday and so I have two full days in Holland. Today I will relax, have a nice nap and tomorrow I will spend some time with my cousin Marjan and her kids and Friday Marjan will go with me to Amsterdam. I'm very thankful that it worked out for me to spend some time here with family.

Gringhuis! So sorry that your Sierre Leone adventure has come to an end, but so excited that you're coming back!! (remember I get dibs on phone call). Don't remind me that you go again in a few weeks though. BTW, why didn't you sing that python into submission? You've done that before haven't you? Isn't it funny you danced the night away on Canada day to Sierre Leone music...where was your MP3 player?:)
Well, have a blast with your family in Holland, and when you're in Amsterdam don't smoke too much pot, you know how you get:) JUST KIDDING!
Later Gater!
I would tell you to relax and enjoy yourself....but you will have enough time for that when you get back!! Buy me something nice...or bring me some droopies please!!!!

Gwendolyn Gringhuis, don't you know it's rude to ask for a present! I will see what I can do in the droopies department, no promises though! See you soon!
Khandaker, we danced to Canadian music for a short while but switched over to Sierra Leonean because they much prefer it. I am behaving myself in Holland, don't worry! I will call you Sunday sometime and hope to see you Monday or Tuesday! Keep those days open. Talk to you SOON!
