The Red eye is a flying requirement for us form Seattle and we were very impressed with the Delta service and the seats, even in economy seemed just a smidge more comfortable then when we flew the Virgin 787. We were on an AirBus A330, which can accomodate almost 300 passengers. We made great time with a tail wind so in ahead of schedule. Here we are onboard in Seattle. Me and Amy and Margeaux and Nick.
The transportation system is well developed so it was a breeze getting to our VRBO right on a canal very close to core activities. To go with the flow we did rent bikes to get around, as it is a very popular mode of transport here and this place is flat and under sea level. We did take a tour of the city via one of the many tour boats, which is a good way to get familar with how the canal really determine how the city was laid out. The structures go back to 1600’s and some have sunk and had to be reinforced with concrete pillars 30 meters into the ground. There are houses that lean against each other, kind of like drunks holding each other up.
Our second full day was spent with a morning visit to the Van Gough Museum with his very prolific output over his lifetime. Some of my favorites here:
