Tales of South Africa: Getting there, plane ride #2. Sep 8/9 , 2009

Amsterdam was incredible! The first thing that wierded me out was not being able to communicate with the people there. They were speaking german or something. talk about culture shock!
we went to a few stores and i bought a holland mug and a few little souvineers.
It was really awesome there! We waited in line for security to get on our flight after filling up our water bottles and realized maybe we couldn't get water through security? so we all had to chug our water.
About mid-flight i woke up , looked at david and he goes , 'DUDE , i JUST PUKED' he had the chicken curry he ate for lunch ALL over his shirt and pants and tray , it was SOOO GROSS.
poor guy , he got all cleaned up , but afte rthat i completely lost my appetite for the entire rest of the plane ride. it was an incredibly long flight! i slept alot of the rest of the way. FYI : Jonathan's shoulder , with the cushion of an airplane pillow makes an excellent pillow :)
we finally made it to Cape Town!! i realized i left my holland stuff on the plane a little too late and had to let it go.
we waited in this line that i thought was for baggage but it was actually customs! she didn't even ask me anything , just jabbered to this guard guy and sent me on through!
the boys got stuck , and micah even longer , but eventually they all got through. when we got our bags , i grabbed mine and the whole thing exploded , clothes went everywhere!
it was the most embarrassing thing EVER! we got it all together again , found clive and we got a ride through Cape Town in our little bus to the college where we'll be staying.
rooms here are LOVELY! me and mikaela have a dorm all to ourselves with four cushy beds and a hot shower and bathroom and it's just AMAZING!
