AUSTRALIA & NEW ZEALAND 2018 – PART 3

an afternoon in Amsterdam

Arriving early, we had just around 9 hours before our flight to Kuala Lumpur & Jakarta. Once off the plane we headed towards “Holland Boulevard” as the terminal map I downloaded indicated airside lockers were available. Upon arrival though the map was correct, it was out of date.
