Short Trip to Holland (Day 4)

On 8 February, we went to Amsterdam Central as my hubby did not had the chance yet to go for a sight seeing.Besides,we need to get some souvenirs for family & friends..We left the hotel around 10a..we wanted to leave earlier,but hubby need to put some final touch on his report...We bought return ticket (Dagretour) that cost us EURO 16,00/person..Our tren scheduled at 10:28a..

Welkom to Amsterdam Centraal..
It took approximately 1 hr 12 mins to Amsterdam Centraal. Upon arrival in AC around 11:40a,we went for a tour around the city..unlike in Arnhem, Amsterdam more congested wif people. We walked around to see some of the nice places in Amsterdam.

my dearest hubby...

We walked around the city and snapped some photos of the buildings, scenery and not forget our own photos..hehe...syok sendiri je...we brought some snacks from the hotel during our breakfast that morning...biscuits & some bread..bkn per, nak isi perut sepanjang perjalanan di Amsterdam.We were thinking that we had not much time to go for lunch...nak bergambar lg, nak beli souvenirs for friends & families lg...mcm2 nak buat in one day..mane spot yang sesuai kami snapped jer...actually, during our visit in Amsterdam, there was a major construction in the city..so, byk tmpt jd x menarik..tau tau je la kan..with the tractors la,itu la ini la...

teruja dengan kuda kat belakang tu sbnrnyer...hehe..ada macam kuda kepang tak?..

Dam Square...similar to Trafalgar Square in Central London..ade feeding pigeons, pelawak & performer jalanan...


ni la performer kat street tu..garang!!..I snapped jer..pedulik per...dah ler x paham dia ckp per...hehe

feeding pigeon...

jejaka terhangat Malaya...

street cat..mak aihhh!!gemuknyer..mcm kucing bela..cantik jer...ni kalau kat m'sia,street cat mmg sopak sana sopak sini....

Then, we dropped by at the DamSquare Souvenir and bought some souvenirs. Nice souvenirs and gifts sold here at the reasonable price. We bought wooden tulips, some magnets ,mugs,t-shirts, and many more...the shops assistants were very nice and friendly..they helped us a lot with the wrapping...kena plak dgn customer yang cerewet cam I nih..just to make sure everything were packed properly..sbd ade items yang fragile... I really love shooping there, so many shops and a lot of choices..but you need to survey all the shops to get the affordable/cheap prices...

sempat lagi posing lepas dah shopping tu..banyak betul basikal,dutch mmg suke pakai bicycle

nice background...I love this pic so much!

cruise...along Amsterdam Canal

Later, we continued our journey around the city...every inch of the road was occupied with people...keadaan mula sesak bila menjelang petang...after we have done with some photos and shopping, we headed back to Arnhem around 4p...dah letih dah rasanye..tp seronok giler..the weather was sunny but windy...sejuk la cuma ade sinaran matahari...tp x panas pun..unlike the day on my arrival in Amsterdam, the weather was cloudy...one incident happened to us...kami terlepas station...hehe..and guess what, the train was going back to Amsterdam Centraal..we only realized after we felt that it took some time to reach Arnhem station...rs cam jauh..I asked one of the guy in the train and he suggested that we should stop anywhere between the station...we stopped at the Utrecht Central and asked the tren assistant which tren were going to Arnhem...he then told us that we should take the tren at spoor 2, the tren will be heading to Arnhem...me & hubby were very tired...sampai terlepas tren...hehe..we arrived in Arnhem around 6p..lmbt skit sampai sbb missed station td...kalau tak sure dh sampai awal...


termenung panjang..tu yang sampai termissed station tu...very tiring..

sms sape tu sayang...???

upon arrival in Arnhem station, we headed back to hotel to take a break..rehat sekejap sbb penat berjalan..then, later around 7p, we went out to buy some chocs & candies for our family & friends...final shopping la kiranya ni...banyak jugak le kami borong..we had to rush as most of the shops were closed at 6/7 p...business hours dorang mmg x mcm kita..our KL is very LIVE...town dorang kol 7 onwards dah mula start sunyi..once arrived, most of the supermarkets were already closed...terpaksa la search yg belum tutup...and hubby knew where it is...the only supermarket opened until 10p..still many people do the shopping...sempat la rembat ape je yg ade..the price was quite cheap...The Netherlands mmg terkenal dengan coklat..so,chocs kat sini mmg murah...sbb dia manufacture sendiri...mmg susah la nak import dari luar..tgk kat wrapping paper tu mmg Made in The Netherlands...penuh gak le bakul kami...hehe...tp my hubby dah rembat awal2 lagi...hehe..last minute shopping ni mmg selalu nak rush jer..sebaik Q x panjang...

then, we went for a walk again...around town,final photo shooting..huhu...hard to snap a photo when it was already dark..we took a dinner and packed our stuff coz we were leaving the next day..tido pon lambat..banyak benda nak buat...we had to leave the hotel early as we need to re-issue the ticket at the aiport..

last pose in Arnhem..hehe
