The Amsterdam Marathon. After almost a year of hard training, the day had finally come: my first marathon. After a very decent breakfast we headed out to the Olympic Stadion in Amsterdam, the starting point of what turned out to be a very tough run.
After embarking on our journey on Saturday night, we arrived in Amsterdam around noon on Sunday. The flight with Icelandair was decent, but don’t expect any food. We tried to get as much sleep as possible, yet still we managed to sleep in until 2:30PM on Monday. Jetlag, anyone?
We, Mark & Herta, are currently backpacking through Europe, and eventually planning to settle in London. Beyond that? The possibilities are endless.
