We departed from Bangor, on a lovely
coach Cyr bus, at 9 am. Cleats, cameras, hopes, and dreams all
packed we headed for Logan Airport to start our trip of a lifetime.
After clearing customs and security we boarded our first flight at
5:30 pm headed for Madrid, Spain. After a grueling 6 hour flight,
that felt like 14, we landed in Spain at 6 am local time. Another
trip through customs and security later we were sprawled out on the M
gate floor awaiting our connecting flight. A continuation of the
never ending flight portion of our trip. After being scattered
throughout the plane during the two hour flight to Brussels, we
reconnected in the terminal and embarked for Sittard on the Coach Bus
of the Year 2012.
We arrived at the Sporthotel Sittard to check into
our rooms, clean up, and head for Amsterdam. We arrived at the hotel
at 1:30 and were on the road by 2. A short 2 and a half hour bus
ride later left us in Amsterdam. We were given a short tour by Phil,
our tour guide, around the city then embarked on our own adventures
around Amsterdam. After getting lunch and exploring the city we
reconvened and headed for the AJAX stadium for our first game over
seas. AJAX is a top club in Holland and the defending champions of
said league. AJAX faced Roda JC and won convincingly 3-0. The
environment was electric when surrounded by 52, 000 other die hard
AJAX fans. After such an amazing first day all that was left was the
trip back to the hotel and passing out in an attempt to gather energy
for the net days Husson match versus VV Spaubeek.
