Back home

Delayed by an hour, as is quite usual for flights from Suriname, I touch down at Schiphol. As flights from Paramaribo are subject to what is called a 100% check (sniffer dogs, interviews, multiple scanners), it takes much longer than normal to pick up our luggage and leave the airport. Luckily I was traveling with Anand's mother, who received preferential treatment due to her age, which speeding things up a bit. The cold weather that hits you immediately when leaving the plane is a welcome change after months of sweaty tropical heat. Although things went well in Suriname and our job was a success, it is good to be back home for a while!
