Day 3 @ Amsterdam -the finale :')

Here's the last bit of my Amsterdam trip :)


So the 3rd day we started the day as usual with breakfast. Lupa plak nak cakap that breakfast is included in the accomodation price. Tapi breakfast biasa-biasa je lah. Not buffet pun. Just ada juice, tea or coffee, bun with cheese, banana and macam apple cake ke ape tah gitu je lah.


Before canal cruise, we went to NewMarket, a place where one of the big I.AMSTERDAM sign was. The first day we bumped into this sign, there were too many people on it. Pergi pagi tu tenang je takde orang pun so we get to camwhore around. Ngehngehngeh..

Give me an R- ARRRRR!

I Am....Who?


Lepastu we took Metro to Central Station and went for the one hour canal cruise which costed 7eu. Kan Amsterdam ni memang surrounded by canals kan so macam dia bawak pusing-pusing to see significant places around the city lah. It was relaxing and very laid back lah. Duduk dalam tu, and just dengar the explanations.

Boathouses along the canals. Memang ada orang yang duduk dekat the boat houses okay. Maybe not as their primary house la tapi memang ada je nampak orang tengah main laptop la apa la atas boat tu. Ada jugak they make it as museum. Tapi tak plak ktorang masuk

boat dia lebih kurang cam cruise kat Putrajaya tu la..


After the cruise ended, we then moved on to our next agenda - Museums visit. Oh no let me rephrase, more like touch base at the famous museums only. We went to the area where Rijskmuseum and Van Gogh museum are. Since both of us memang bukan jenis orang yg appreciate arts and not a fan of museums so we decided not to go in..But the area was so nice. And that's where we realized the second big I.Amsterdam sign is. I think the second one ni more like the main one la sebab the location is more....hmmm..appropriate, I guess? Lepastu kitorang lepak-lepak at the area near both museums. The weather was again, very...very nice! We stayed around camwhored again and again. Tangkap gambar lompat baring segala.



amik gambar buat cukup syarat je. masuknye tak pun. hihi


at Vondelpark. Ni pun tak masuk. Tangkap depan entrance je..

weeeee veli nice weatherrrr


lompaaaatttt

baringgggg

I amsterdam full with people.


We decided to go back to the hostel that afternoon sebab 3rd day memang dah tak fit dah. Stopped by at Flower Market again to look for souvenirs for the last time. Had lunch with our favourite fries with oorlog sauce.Headed to the hostel, checked in buat kesekalian kalinya (sebab kitorang buat private-dorm-private so tiap-tiap hari kena check in/out. hahaha sanggup tu demi privacy). Had a nap barang sejam lebih, prayed and went out again. Petang tu dah macam sangap-sangap tatau nak buat apa. The initial plan was to take a stroll down the shopping streets. Tapi macam tengah takde mood nak shopping sangat (more like takde duit nak shop sebnanye! haha...) so we ended up walking aimlessly dekat Kalverstraat.

oh we had pancake at this Pancake House dekat-dekat dengan the museum and HRC area. OMG DON'T GO HERE! THE WAITER WAS VERY RUDE! DAH LAH TAK SEDAP PUN!


Sebab dah boring sangat tatau nak buat apa, we decided to go to Nemo, the Science and technology centre. Takdelah nak masuk pun I just wanted to take pictures because dia macam ada area where u can climb up, nampak macam cantik for pictures. Unfortunately lepas dah jalan beribu steps, the place was closed already because it was pass 5pm. Took bus back to the Central Station, and started our journey to find the Red Light District!
muka dah penat at Nemo


On our way to find the RLD, we bumped into our favourite Wok to Walk restaurant and decided to have dinner first memandangkan dah menapak jauh gi Nemo tadi kan memasing dah lapar. We had difficulties to find the area, mula-mula macam dah pasrah je nak balik je sebab dah penat sangat but in the end we managed to find the street we accidentally went on the first day. Tapi takde ramai "displayed entities" at that time. Maybe it was still early ke ape tatau lah. Tapi adalah a few yang owhhhh....sedikit jijik disitu. Tergetik-getik didalam tingkap mengorat sekumpulan lelaki yang ada jalan close to us. Owhhh buta mata...tak nampak jalan diduniaaaa...

abang-abang penggoreng

teriyaki sauce ftw!!

Since no photography allowed at RLD, I have to settle with googled images je lah. This is how RLD looks like...


the displayed entities

the district

That night we went back to packing and do stuffs. The next morning disiplin habis ok memang on time as planned. Woke up at 6, check out at 6.50, took tram at 7.08 and took train to Airport at 7.25. Dekat airport we parted and went our own ways. I reached Cork at about 10.15am.


I'm glad everything went smooth with no delays or unwanted drama. A big thanks goes to my travelling partner, my beloved friend, Nabila for the company. This is certainly the best Euro trip I experienced so far...ngehngehngeh
