10.26 am: This morning we took the girls to Amsterdam Airport Schiphol, one of Europe's largest airports, for an outing. It has a panorama terrace that offers a fabulous view of the planes and aprons. There's an old KLM Fokker 100 (pictured) on the terrace that serves as a mini museum.
In the background there's the old traffic control tower where I used to work before I got my current job. I wasn't an air traffic controller though - the tower isn't in use anymore and houses offices for airport related companies now.
