- I was at Schipol in September and I suggest using the lockers at the
- airport
- itself, since they are more secure, cheaper, bigger and less per day than
- at Centraal Station. I think it was something like 6 guilders for a large
- locker (we put 2 4000+ cc backpacks plus 1 carry on in the locker easily).
- The way it works is that you put in coins for a certain amount, then if you
- stay longer it won't give you your luggage back until you deposit more
- coins.
- There is also a long term storage counter but we didn't need that.

- Bon voyage...
