Peru - Arrival in the Netherlands with a view over Amsterdam

Just after one o’clock local time, the plane makes a stop on the island of Bonaire. Around two o’clock, we take off again toward Amsterdam. Along the way, we are served two meals, I watch a few films, and I mostly sleep. At half past five in the afternoon, we land at Schiphol Airport. This is earlier than planned, but at Schiphol we still undergo a full security check. We had traveled via Bonaire. After several extra checks, we finally exit the airport. In Amsterdam, it is seven hours later than in Lima, so the Monday has passed very quickly.
