Two hours later I walked the five minutes from central station to the event site and checked into the hotel which was right next to the Spui Plein where the BMX, skateboard, Ski, MTB and Snowboard events took place. I even had a room with a window that overlooked the course which was handy because you could keep an eye out for the activities that were happening at a certain moment.
