| Bikes in Amsterdam |
We left our hotel in Amsterdam at 6:50 this morning - long before sun up (8:34 a.m.) to give us time to catch our train to London. As always, we gave ourselves plenty of time for our walk to the train station, especially today as we knew we were traveling outside of the European Union. As we waited at our assigned platform we were notified by a rail employee that we had entered the platform from the wrong entrance. Long story short, because of Brexit, our trip today was treated more like a flight. We had to have our luggage screened and our passport validated to enter the UK. All this was done in a different part of the train station and we ultimately were not allowed to board our scheduled train Thanks to an exceptionally helpful person in Amsterdam, we were able to book a train to Brussels, where another kind person credited our tickets and put us on the next train to London.
There were two lessons learned: Train travel to the UK is different and there are still nice people in the world.
We eventually made it to London and found our hotel in time to drop our bags and head to a

After dinner we walked to Covent Garden to see its extensive Christmas light display.
