AMSTERDAM

Moving out of my apartment tomorrow.

( something I should probably take care of is that the entry code for the door will be changed tomorrow. I imagine Marie-Gaelle didn't tell me the new code to force me to call her and discuss the moving-out inspection. it is hard for me to imagine moving out, since everything I own is still spread all over the apartment, and half of the dishes are dirty (that is , the ones that aren't broken.) )

ALSO TOMORROW: 23h, getting on a BUS to Amsterdam from Paris-Gallieni. Will arrive in Amsterdam at something like 6h30. According to Paul, who made the same trip I believe, public transport won't be running at that hour. not a big deal. I will walk, or wait. I guess it's something like 5km to the city.

I will be there until 7h30 on Saturday June 3. Then I get a bus back to Paris, where I will get a train to .... somewhere else. Tentatively to Interlaken (via Basel), where I will tentatively get another train up to Gimmelwald or something, up in the Alps. it will be cold, but beautiful. We'll see.
