eurotrip - selfie series I

this is going to be a two-parter :P

too many pics, yeay

seriously, the food is heavenly
yeay Etihad Airways!

amsterdam VII - albert cuypmarkt

that red berry yoghurt smoothie is heavenly.

amsterdam VI - zaanse schans

i would guess that this is a compass and not a clock.
at centraal station

this costs 13.50 euro. makes more sense if you try to go to two or more out of town places.
my suggestion: zaanse schans and volendam, and if you think you can, squeeze marken in your itinerary as well :)

imagine having a house like that..
zaanse schans is a 40-minute bus ride from central amsterdam,
so you go out to the village a bit

they use these clogs everywhere, from day to day work and also on special occasions like wedding :)

amsterdam V - i amsterdam, canal cruise, & red light district

i've had this post in my draft, forever.

i had a somewhat huge move in my life --

i'm moving back into the city which i don't really love,

and back into my mother's house.

i have my own reasons,

but sometimes i don't think i'm cut out for this.

anyway, let's move on.

***

this building is pretty.

so many bikes in amsterdam, so parents take their kids in this 'wheelbarrow'. so cutee

not as much people crowded around the sign, so managed to take a pic or two :)

people play in and out of the water fountain.
this is such a cool place to hang out

amsterdam IV - keukenhof, again (23.03.15)

i probably broke your computer screen from too many flowers.

:P

this looks exquisite.

amsterdam III - keukenhof 23.03.2015

bought combi-ticket from amsterdam to keukenhof,
which means we have to change buses at schiphol airport.
the combi-ticket is worth it,
easier than normal public transportation and doesn't cost more.

i purposely wear red for this reason, hiks.
believe it or not, i laid out my outfit for keukenhof from home.
but..... it's too cold, so you get to only see my trench coat -.-"

she is so tall
(or maybe, i am short)

guhhhhh

mama's favourite colour

amsterdam II - an evening

so many people at the 'I amsterdam' sign.
this is taken at museumplein - literally, museum square.
this square is bounded by 3 museums - rijksmuseum, van gogh, and stedelijk.
the disney-like castle is the famous rijksmuseum.

if i had more time, i would've explored rijksmuseum and also van gogh

the tour bike - there's a tour guide in front,
but the rest of the people has to cycle to move the vehicle through the city :)

love locks everywhere

mama's pic, taken by me.

my pic, taken by mama -.-"
i really have to marry a photographer.

amsterdam I - bloemenmarkt

overnight bus we took from london to amsterdam

duivendrecht station

48 hours GVB card, which we used extensively on trams

you get live arrival times at some tram stops. beyond awesome
amsterdam is even colder, can you imagine?

it is 'koffie'

stayed in hotel leidsegracht, which is in one of amsterdam's narrow houses
i loved the hotel, small but complete :)
and location is perfect.

can you imagine just sitting there, having coffee..

mushroom pancake for brunch
