We Made it !!

This is Max ! After a long and tiring 14 hours of travel we have finally made it to Athens , Greece ! I'll start out with details from the minute we boarded the flight. We got on and there was absolutely no delay at all ! We got in the air. I watched lots of movies , they served dinner, I attempted to get some sleep but I don't think I did.  Before we knew it we were landing in Amsterdam ! We all deplaned there and there was a big confusion. We were told that we needed to clear customs and immigration into the EU in Amsterdam and our head leader Linda thought that we had to go through customs for the people whose final destination was Amsterdam ... It turned out we didn't and eventually we figured out that we had to go to our gate area and there would be immigration there, so that worked out. Then we got through and could walk around the entire European terminal on our own . It was 10:20 when we got to go but we had to be back at 11:15 to start boarding and Linda said we would lose free time tomorrow in Athens if we were late.  Several of my friends and I were walking around and I looked at my watch and it said 11:12 we started sprinting through the terminal to make it back to the terminal.  It was a mile to our gate ! Guess I did get some running in today ! We made it just in time and got on our KLM flight to Athens , Greece . KLM had great service ! A meal service , snack service , beverage service , and desert ! For a 2 hour and 50 minute flight.  Before I knew it we were descending into Athens ! Athens is Amazing ! The hotel we are staying at is in the center of Athens and is in a great area.  To warp it up we got free wifi and a balcony ! Wel,l it's time to go eat dinner ! Will post again tomorrow !
