This
had to be one of the shortest flights we've had;
truly a "hop" for The Hopper. Thankfully,
fairly uneventful as well, considering the possibilities
upon leaving a place such as Amsterdam.
The
sprawling cityscape of Amsterdam is quite splendid,
and it is suggested that if you ever get the chance
that you fully explore its nooks and crannies
in an ultralight or a heli. There are some fantastic
freeware add-ons that enhance it quite nicely,
such as Netherlands2000, which can be found
at the usual sites such as AVSIM.
Coupled with Ruud
Faber's FScene textures, the region is
quite the delight!
Upon
leaving Schripol, we climbed out to a fairly low
altitude and cracked open a Tilburg Brown Ale
each and sat back. Before you knew it, we were
in Brussels. Circled, landed nicely thanks to
GB's skills and parked to finish the six pack
we had. Really, that was the flight. So quick
we almost overflew the damn place! Next time,
perhaps train travel would be easier!
So
now we are in Belgium. This is THE place for fine
beer, and we'll probably be here a while. Coaxing
us out of this brewing heaven may prove to be
a chore, with a plethora of great abbys to sample
from. Expect that we will stash several of these
fine varieties for future consumption, especially
as we reach some of the more sparsely populated
and "dryer" areas of the world.
So
kick back, relax and enjoy the finest beer in
the world with us: Chimay,
St. Bernardis,
Kwak
and others. We'll
see you in Switzerland in a few weeks.
