armsterdam

After a short sleep (may be 4 hours?) we arrived rotterdam's port

here the scene from ferries.
me and judy b4 leaving the ferries.

is this holland? YES! don't you see there are "modern" wind mill? hahahaah


prepare to go!

we have to take 2 hrs to reach armsterdam by bus. i felt sick when i thought of the journey. but the guys behind looks cheerful.


we were in train in armsterdam. something like monorail in kl. so convenience. and it is only 7 euro for day trip.
this was our first station - museum area.


i was asked to take picture of this, dunno y? but i still enjoy it.

i like this area. it is a peaceful land.

"i amsterdam" - name of a trip package =.=it is an ice skating field behind me.

erm........... it is a museum but i don know its name.
coaster museum? a diamond making place. we didnt go in because we were run out of time.

i rili like this place. it is a heaven for me. may be the weather was too good to make me felt like that.
on the way to van gogh museum-one of the landmark tourism spot in netherland-> the reason we were in this museum area .

in front of it
inside. of course i took this picture securitely as u know photographing is not allowed in museum. but i hv to take something (picture)back for my 10 euro(entry fee).

to be frank, i could not understand and feel the amazing of van gogh's picture. and i guessing that wat make so many ppl visit this museum, they all come for their dream or the fame of museum? for me i guess it is all about advertisement.

this was our next stop. it is one of the market in armsterdam. we didnt mean to go here but seems the train passed by, we juz dropped ourself there.


cheese-one of the famous products of netherland, it is kind of pity that we have no time to visit its factory >.< vege? nothing special lar, juz take for fun.
tasteless mayo+ crispy chips= 1.7 euro = delicious and special food in netherland by recommend from website.
canal - one of the symbols of armsterdam. it can bring you around the city. unlimited ride, 17 euro per day.
this is the flower market. seems this is not the right season for tulip. so we can only see the bud and seed of tulip fromt his market T.T

champagne rose? not sure about that.

seed of tulip. not cheap tho. wish to buy some for my mom but the seller said this flower is for spring not for summer T.T judy was surprised by this. burger sold in machine!

armsterdam!
stood in dam square with soft ice cream from Mc Donald-0.35 euro, hah!

our next destination - sex museum - seek it for long. it is too small until dutch could not tell us its exact location.
3 euro per entry. it is cheap compare to those elegant but dull artistic museum. hahahaha, don know how to describe.......

it is a sex museum, you should expect it.

red light street in museum

street in armsterdam
city full with bicycle.
real red light street which has a lot of sexshop. we accidentally come here.
although we mean to be here. red light street.


can u see? there are many bicycle!
wat is in my hand? chips again! but this time is with satay.
i am so touching the satay is taste like wat in tawau.
it is so match with my blog title - 异乡寻乡情.
it is a church but i don know its name. judy told me that it is oldest church in netherland. we also accidentally arrive here.
we were on our way back to the bus station at tht moment.


our journey is almost ended!


take more picture b4 leave.


take again

finally arrive the ferries after one and a half hour bus journey.


we took buffet again! 16.75 euro.
coz we were having british food on the way to rotterdam so we expected we will get dutch food on the returning trip.
but.............. but............. it is british food again and it is same as the day b4 .
watz funny that almost all the staffs in restaurant recognised us. when we went to each section, the staffs were saying the same thing: " hi, its you again !" may be we are the only chinese ? or may be the only asian on ferries so they know us or may be no one will have the buffet dinner for two days? who know y ? hhahha


dessert! we were hving more dessert in the first day . but we finished them b4 we remember to take pic. hahahha.
the cheese cake is very nice!


on the way back to my bedroom.


Good morning! after a nice sleep.

hull is near!
