9 Hours at AMS Schiphol Airport

With the amount of time I had in Amsterdam to connect to my new flights, I could have ventured into the city, but with the lack of sleep, and not in a "touring" kinda mood, I stuck around the aiport. 

Schiphol is a great (aside from a few operational setbacks), bars, lounges, restaurants, lots of shopping...and there's even a casino! 

There was a point where I thought I was literally going to fall asleep, and with fear missing my flight, I ventured to the Yotel (small cubicle style rooms for rent by the hour, great for longer connections, or just to escape the airport scene), offering showers for 15EUR - this was priceless for me - I dont't remember the last time feeling so instantly refreshed - I shoulda went strait here and chilled out for the day! 

Feeling like a new person, Volcanoes London office called me back to advise she had been in touch with the local team in Uganda, who has arranged to delay our charter flight in the morning until my arrival - what a relief!!! Sorry to the rest of my group in advance! 

So, after missing my original flight, spirits are high again, plans are back in place. The only part really lost in all this is my overnight at the Serena Lake Victoria Hotel just outside Entebbe. 

Must admit, kind of looking forward to flying into Dubai, and experiencing Emirates Airlines.
