Early in the morning, we arrived at Istanbul just for transferring. I ate toast pinching a slice of spicy? ham.
I felt that interior of the airport was different from my memory which is travelling to Turky in 2012.
We boarded aircraft for Amsterdam. Most of the readers of this diary would think that this is the begining of Amsterdam tour of Netherland tour. But, the fact is that we rode Thalys to Paris Nord.

Of course, I took pictures on the platform of Amsterdam Schiphol station.

In Japan, train station at the airports are usually terminal stations. It was interesting for me that Schiphol station is just an intermediate station on the route between Amsterdam and Brussels.
I ate Asian cuisine I bought at a supermarket in the airport on the train.
Most of the scene I saw from the train was rural one. The most impressive scene is that flock of sheep were walking on the field. My wife often said "How cute the flocking sheep are!"
