I have a 5 hour layover in Amsterdam and I REALLY want to see Corrie Ten Boom's house in Haarlem. Is that even possible? I will be going on a day that the museum is open. The only problem is the museum opens at 10:00 am and my flight to Athens leaves a little after 12:00. Should I try taking an expensive taxi back to the airport? How much time should I allow to get on the plane to Athens?

Sorry you don't have enough time...even if you had a police escort. See if the airline taking you to Athens has any later flights. If they do....on the day you arrive at Schipol go to their transfer desk explain the situation and ask very nicely if they could put you on the later flight...as long as there are empty seats there is a good chance they will make the switch.

Cherianne,
Michael is absolutely right:
there is no way you will make it to Amsterdam and back, but like he says: if it is that important to you, try to get a later flight to Athens.
