On April 9, I had my first ever COVID test so that I could be cleared to fly less than two days later.
I had a lot of luggage, but actually packed light allowing lots of space to bring back some of Dad’s belongings.
Since my flight was pretty early on the 11th, Jimmy suggested that we spend the night before at the CitizenM at Schiphol. Here we are standing on the spots on the ground instructing us to stay socially distanced in the elevator.
We got a laugh out of the greeting on the iPad in our room.
Our view over the airport was pretty cool. Since restaurants were still closed, we just picked up some takeaway sushi and salads from Albert Heijn to eat in the room while watching movies.
I believe this hotel was the first one built in the chain, so had the early design of the bathroom, which consisted of separate pods for the toilet...
…and the shower, which reminded me of the old sci-fi series
Lost in Space.
We got up early to check-in for my flight and stopped for some photos by the mirrored face sculpture, which was tricky due to the bright lights.
We’re pretty tiny in this selfie.
Getting through security was incredibly easy as there’s no longer a requirement to take electronics out of bags with the upgrade to new scanning equipment. The airport was pretty empty. I took this photo to highlight a few things: the airport was nearly empty, there’s a cool plant wall that I hadn’t seen before and I was surprised to see several folks wearing full protective suits.
