It is a Small World
I Am Sterdam at the “Ship’s Hell” International Airport
Continuing our virtual Boeing 747 global tour to some of my favorite or meaningful destinations, for the letter A, our next stop is at Amsterdam Schiphol Airport. The number 3 busiest airport in Europe (Number 12 busiest in the world) lies at the bottom of what was once the Haarmemmer Lake which is an unbelievable over 3 meters (nearly 10 feet) below sea level. The first airplane landed at Schiphol in 1916. Prior to COVID-19, it served over 100 airlines reaching 97 countries. Two hotels are available after security and it’s the only airport in the world that houses a museum. In English schiphol translates as “ship’s hell”. One explanation is that there used to be an inland sea at this location and strong winds caused many ships to sink.
Schiphol is one of my favorite airports in the world with great KLM lounges, full-service cafes, excellent shopping, walking distance to a great Hilton property, and easy efficient transportation into the city. It’s the place where I always stocked up on chocolate for the family on the way to Italy. It’s also the place to buy fresh tulips as I did many times for my lovely Klari when we lived in Switzerland.
Thank you, Delta Airlines, KLM, Swiss, and the many other airlines for the countless flights to and from Amsterdam Schiphol airport. It was the opposite of ship’s hell. We will get through this pandemic and once again realize that it’s a small world after all.
