    Made it to Atlanta. They thought it was funny to have me go from concourse A at the very end all the way to concourse E in less than an hour. Made and had time to pick up McDonald's. On to Amsterdam.

  • Amsterdam layover

    January 6, 2025 in the Netherlands ⋅ 🌬 11 °C

    Landed safely in Amsterdam. Typical Netherlands weather flying in. Nice looking airport. Tons of travelers. Customs was quick and painless - took literally about 30 seconds. About an hour wait then on to Stuttgart.Read more

  • Made it to the hotel

    January 6, 2025 in Germany ⋅ ☁️ 9 °C

    Made it to the hotel and got checked in. Drove around the town a little bit to see if I could find some food but it's a holiday today and everything is closed. Maybe better luck tomorrow.
    Oh and by the way, I've traveled over 7100 kilometers since yesterday - that's over 4400 miles!Read more

  • Sindelfingen

    January 20, 2025 in Germany ⋅ ⛅ 5 °C

    Been cold here - didn't get above freezing until yesterday. Two days ago I walked around town some more along the skinny roads they have here. Came across an old building with 1592 painted on the outside. Seems it's one of the oldest buildings in town. According to a plaque outside, it used to be the town hall of Sindelfingen and was built in 1478! The building now houses the town museum. Yesterday I decided to take a drive about an hour away and buy an authentic German Cuckoo Clock. A few more days and I'll be headed back home.Read more
