Over this Christmas break I went to Prague. I flew out on Thursday morning and stayed for three nights. It was an awful lot of fun. To get to the airport I took the metro and then a bus to the Rotterdam-Den Haag airport. Flying out of Rotterdam ended up being significantly cheaper and more convenient than going to Amsterdam.
Taking the bus to the airport was interesting because we went out through the suburbs of the city and I got to see a different side of the Rotterdam. One of the little towns looked an awful lot like Aitken. Just a quaint little residential area with little shops on the ground floors. In another area, they were building what looked like multi-layered pedestrian and bike over-pass, which was kind of funny and fragile looking.
I flew with transavia.com, which is a Dutch budget airline. I thought they had a pretty nice service. The best thing, though, was the departure lounge. It was the most comfortable departure lounge EVER. It was all set up like a comfy lounge with giant wing-back club chairs; long tables that could seat eighteen or twenty people; little cozy nooks with booths that fit two; high bar counters with tall, square, white stools; low ceilings, and big, white, chunky chandeliers, all done in black, gold, and light oak. This is a new renovation, actually, it was barely a month old. If you look at this link here (just "x" out the little request for survey answers) you will see the apology for the construction and a picture of part of the lounge.
The very best thing about the whole airport experience, though, was that I saw someone with the best, biggest, fluffiest eyebrows ever. They made Dad's eyebrows pale by comparison.
It's kind of like comparing Samuel's beard to Brian Blessed's (although both of these guys do have pretty sturdy eyebrows).
