I left Kalmar, Sweden on the 23rd of March by train with my destination Copenhagen Airport. From there it was a short flight to Amsterdam. I booked a small hotel right on a canal and had a great Dutch dinner at a nearby restaurant.
The next morning I skipped the rather expensive hotel breakfast and had coffee and a sweet roll at a nearby bakery; delicious!
Since the sun was shining I decides to walk to the Central Station one km away. However occasional rain showers passed overhead as I followed the canal walkway to the station. At the station I got a ticket to Schiphol, walked up the steps to platform and boarded the first car I came to. It turned out to be 1st class, but we were 4-5 persons who made the same mistake so we just stayed put and no one seemed to mind.
At Schiphol I boarded the MB-11 KLM flight 757 for Panama. As we taxied for take off I read an article in the Wall Street Journal about a recent crash of a MB-11 in Japan: The conclusion was that the MB-11 was a ludicrously dangerous plane that no one in their right mind would ride in. We took off for Panama!
