It takes a while to get to Amsterdam, where the school is.  First, I have to ride my bike to the train station.

I get on the train and go to Leiden Centraal station and change trains there.  I change trains again at Schipol, the airport in Amsterdam.  When I get to my last train station, I walk to get to the school.

Taking the train gives me plenty of time to listen to music, read or prepare for my class.  Since we have one car, we are so happy to be able to have public transportation and bikes.  It’s like having a second car.
