This week I got the chance to go on a business trip with the typist....i think he has a lot of fun going to new countries and travelling by airplanes.....
...we were at Heathrow, terminal 5 early in the morning.....I wonder what gate we need to go to? Do we have time to buy a newspaper?..... |
*skip...skip...* Schipol!!....a 15 minute walk from plane to exit....*sigh* |
...we caught a train from the airport to another town...and visited a factory...here i am doing quality control on some products....a bit technical for me and not very interesting to sniff.... |
...now here I am on the train back to Amsterdam.....what time is it? Did we miss lunch?.....very comfy considering we were travelling second class.... |
...but it was raining SO HARD when we got to town that the only thing we could photo in the dark was a bike! Very Dutch..... |
...and I was only seen again in time for breakfast.....somewhere on that train we lost an hour too...has anyone seen it? It's very early here in Europe.... |
...back to the train station......but no sign of our train to Brussels..... |
...better check the timetable.... |
....here's a train...but its not our one...we need the red and pink HighSpeed train.... |
....this is more like it....velvet seats in First Class!!...and WiFi....... |
....very comfy...but what can we do?....*watches Rotterdam, and Antwerp speed past through the window*.... |
...there was nothing for it but to read the paper and have breakfast again at the proper time..... |
...will we have time to see something in Brussels?...er....no....rushing through the station, grabbing a magazine.... |
...we are on the Eurostar back to London...typist claims it goes under the ocean but I don't think I believe him..... |
.....Time Zone Terrier enjoys another nap......*Lille speeds past the window*.... |
Clapton, are you sure you are a Terrier and not a Hobbit?!? Second breakfast is very Hobbit-ish, if you ask me!
ReplyDeleteI don't know if I like these trips you call "business trips"...everything seemed so rushed. Definitely not as fun as a holiday! Glad you are home safe and sound!
You're handling the trials of business travel quite nicely Clapton...maybe next trip you'll get to do a little sightseeing or shopping for a prezzie for Lola
ReplyDeleteWhat an adventure! Can't get anymore exciting. That is so cool you didn't have to travel in a carrier
ReplyDeleteBenny & Lily
Hahaha. Love your adventurous spirit :)
ReplyDeleteWow you have been to more countries in one day than I have ever in my whole life! I amy have a word with the boss and see if I can go next time with him! Especially if it means I can have three crosants in one day - yes I did count!! Didn't bring any back for me did you??!!
ReplyDeleteYou will have to change your moniker to "Clapton - your international correspondent". :)
ReplyDeleteoh Clapton well dun you for keepin typist on his toes and movin quickly - glad u reeturned saffley
ReplyDeleteGreat International business partner I must say
ReplyDeleteHello Clayton you & typist had quite a whirlwind trip. Hope you have rested up now. These adventures can take a toll.
ReplyDeleteA day in the life of Clapton looks very exhausting. How many breakfasts can a Clapton eat in one day I ask you.
ReplyDeleteThat all looked very exciting, Clapton, but dark..Typist is right - you did go under the ocean
ReplyDeleteMy developer is trying to convince me to move to .net from
ReplyDeletePHP. I have always disliked the idea because of the expenses.
But he's tryiong none the less. I've been using WordPress on a variety of websites for about
a year and am anxious about switching to another platform.
I have heard excellent things about blogengine.
net. Is there a way I can transfer all my wordpress content into it?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
