13 february 2005, arriving from a trip to Australia. I landed at Schiphol airport at about 6.30 a.m. The first train to Almelo left at 7.52 am. Arriving in Almelo 1 hour and 3 quarters later, i was confronted with this empty space. In front of the railway station. All what i could feel is the feeling of being stranded in Almelo, longing for the bright horizons of Australia.
