We landden rond 16 uur plaatselijke tijd, ik ging door customs en nam een shuttle naar de jeugdherberg. Dit alles nam toch weer 2 uur in beslag. De jeugdherberg zag er op het eerste zicht oud en versleten uit, maar mijn privékamer was wel groot met dubbel bed en lavabo+wc. De directe omgeving was nogal verlaten.
When I was looking for flights, I found United Airlines to be the cheapest with Lufthansa providing the outward journey. So first I had a flight from Brussels to Frankfurt and then a flight to Denver. In Frankfurt we had to take a bus from the gate to the aircraft. I had never done that before and because it was a large aircraft, it took a while before everyone got there so we could leave. Other than that I was very pleased with this flight. I had a lot of leg room, the toilets were downstairs so you could also stretch your legs without annoying or blocking other people and there was a large choice of entertainment on your own little screen. I watched 3 movies and 1 hour before we we going to land, I noticed they even had a music video of Bon Jovi... the flight was a bit more than 10 hours, my longest ever, but the most enjoyable at the same time too. I would definitely choose Lufthansa again.
We landed around 4pm local time, I went through customs and took a shuttle to the youth hostel. All this took another 2 hours. The hostel looked old and torn down, but my private room was large with a dubbel bed and sink+toilet. The surroundings were rather abandoned.
Na het installeren ben ik naar de Safeway supermarkt gegaan voor water en ontbijtrepen. Hier had ik ook graag foto's genomen, want de winkels zijn hier een bezienswaardigheid op zich. Er was bijvoorbeeld een heel rek vol ontbijtgranen in alle geuren, kleuren, vormen en smaken: kaastaart, bosbessen, frambozen, kaneel, milkshake, marshmellow, pindakaas, oreokoekjes, cheddar, noem maar op. Daarna heb ik mijn mails nog even gecheckt. Het internet was inbegrepen en er stonden 2 (nog van de jaren stilletjes) pc's in de inkomhal.
After getting installed in the room, I went to the Safeway supermarket for water and breakfast bars. I would have loved taking pictures here, because the shops are a curiosity as well. For example they have a whole row of cereals in al kinds of shapes, colors, smells and tastes: cheesecake, blueberry, raspberry, cinnamon, milkshake, marshmellow, peanut butter, oreo cookies, cheddar and so on. After that I checked my mails quickly. The internet was included and there were 2 (probably still dating from the Middle Ages) pc's in the lobby.
