A half-day in Amsterdam

I'd say it's quite an expensive trip with not many things achieved... but then we at least get to cruise through Asmterdam in 1 hour.... considering that the kids were not too OK.. so it was still worth it.

In the morning, Haikal had earlier vomited... and whole night he was having a fever... but was still insisting on a "thomas" ride. I didnt know where else to go (no real plans) so we still made it to Amsterdam. The return trip was around 16 euros per person (kids below 4 - free!)...


Haikal & Meen getting ready for the trip

By the time we reached Amsterdam, it was almost noon....


Ni sekitar Central Station Amsterdam.... background pun tak berapa clear....


To ensure ada "amsterdam" dalam gambar (macam "kiasu" je ek? hee hee hee)

Ya Allah... punya lah lama nak tunggu kat tourist info tu! Haikal lak, sebab tak berapa sihat, dah ngantuk, nak dukung.. sebab nak tido... boleh tercabut pinggang rasanya! By the time dah dapat info, most excursions kena tunggu lagi 2-3 jam... malas la (and it could take 2-3 hours lak tu!)... so we decided to just go on the 1-hour canal cruise je..

And most of the photos are from the boat...


Just inside the cruise boat... Meen dah terlentuk... and muka Haikal yang selalu senyum pun, dah mencuka je


The boat house - some of them become museums.... and not sure what the other one is


Tak dengar dah apa these buildings mean...








I think this one is the view of the Red Light District...




View of the canal... and the B&W has been the house of the Mayors of Amsterdam since the beginning (I think it's no 502). B&W is like the official color...


The second photo has got to do with Holland being below sea level, I think




Left is, I think, the Parliament house or sth... and the next one is their Performing Arts building


A house with lots of windows also has some signifance to NL....

By this time, Haikal has already fallen asleep... so all the photos are mainly taken from the seat...





This is the view of The Amsterdam... i think it was used during those days to conquer other countries... but has now become a museum...


The side view of the Amsterdam..... and nampak tak nama dia kat belakang bot tu?

So we left the cruise and headed back to the Central Amsterdam Station... tapi sebelum tu sempat singgah bilik air (punya lah canggih, masukkan 50 euro cents so lepas tu pintu dia zasssss terbukak sideways.. kalau lambat sket, sure tersepit! Tapi bila nak keluar, pandai pulak tak perlu coins - the sensor works!!)... Lepas tu, makan Fish Burger kat Burger King (tawakkal je la) and headed to The Hague.


Sampai apt dlm 4pm so sempatlah nak Zohor lagi....
