So here I am in the Copenhagen airport waiting for our flight. We got delayed by an hour so I had some free time and thought I would write now. We are en route to Amsterdam! I cannot believe we have already been to Lithuania (Vilnius and Klaipeda), Latvia (Riga), and Russia (Moscow!) Time has really flown by. We visited the Ikea distribution center today. It is actually an Ikea store with a distribution center attached to it. What I was not expecting was an Ikea with a huge mall attached – second largest mall in Europe to be exact. Ikea, and this is only in Russia right now, is in the business of building and leasing malls. It was a fascinating visit – the presentation was good and we even got a tour of the mall to see how it was run. It was monsterous; there was a movie theater, and ice rink, and tons and tons of stores. Afterwards we ate at the Ikea store and then rushed over to the airport. The flight was good, only around 2 ½ hours. We ate here at the airport; food is not cheap! And now we are waiting for our flight. I cannot wait to be in Amsterdam!
It ends up our hotel isn't in Amsterdam, but about a half hour south of it. Which is fine, we will be back in a few weeks. The moment we got to this hotel, I felt so much stress just go away. It wasn't like I was terrified in Moscow, but all of the rushing around and non-stop activites just wiped me out. This hotel is nice and quite surrounded by farms, really peaceful. Tomorrow Germany!!
