Vacay: The Netherlands Part 1

Heyaa..
This happened last month..June 09..
Kemalasan melanda btul..asyik tak sempat je nk blog bout our recent vacay..
yup we went to Holland and Belgium..eventho it's just a short break..3 days..but we had maximize the time there coz we rented a car..
It's wayy much easier travelling with car esp when u have lil kids..
Alhamdulillah, eventho we've never drive on the left side b4, everything went well..

but ade pulak incident tak best with the car..nyammpahh..mencik..dan telah mengurangkan aktiviti hari pertama kami..

we flew from Stansted airport to Eindhoven which is in South Holland..according to my friend, Holland ni size die kecik je..agak2 besar Pahang plus Selangor and Melaka..I thought besar sgt..

then terus amik kete sewa yg dh siap parking kt airport ni..so tak pyh la nk angkut kids and luggage merata2..

we got Nissan Note..ala2 Myvi gitu..but okay..kete baru..mileage br 4000..
so I had to drive first coz it was booked under my name..
huhu..cuak btul..dh la left side..pastu roundabout ke kanan..kan dh biasa the other way around..
pastu cikgu kt sebelah pun memberi ajaran sesat..pelagi..mcm siput la..
so bile dh masuk hiway..br laa..zzzoommmm..
and cepat2 cari rest area suh hubby drive..
haha..die pun cuak2..
at least ade la experience..so lepas ni if nk rent car kt Europe confident la sket..ngeh..ngeh..
ooopppss..tak lupe gak..
Thanks to Mr.Wan n wifey coz pinjamkan Tom2 Europe diorang..
lps ni we all pun nk beli UK/Europe la..
(but tunggu korang balik dulu aaa..hehe..)

Ni Highway from Eindhoven to Amsterdam..
lebey kurang 1.5 hours la..
tgh jln tu hubby ngantuk pulak..yela mlm tu we all sume tak tido..
brg tak packing lagi..so me pun ngantuk gak..
but me sbb dh biasa stay up blh tahan lg..
so terpaksala drive balik sampai Amsterdam...pelagi..pecut la..dh lama tak drive auto kan...

This is part of Amsterdam..die ade Tour boat/ canal..
bus pon ade..but we all tak sempat sgt nk jln2 sini coz kete overheat..shaiiittt..
then contact breakdown service, tunggu die htr repairman...

whateva pun..ni mmg wajib pegi..nasib dekat je..

Di Holland ni, bicycle adalah pengangkutan utama..mostly ppl riding the bicycle..siap parking lot and lane merah allocated for them..traffic light pun ade..
menarik gak kan..

so that's why la parking kereta mahal gilosss..tak tau kan..

later ade this guy from the rental company told us that Amsterdam is the most expensive city to park the car..mmg pun!!
just imagine about 2 hrs dh kene dlm 12 Euro lebey..huhu..
plan berjimat kaput...
patutnye gi parking luar Amsterdam and naik tram..mane la we all tau..bayar je la..afterall tak yah nk jalan jauh2..hehe..malas!!

Ni mase kete kene tow..then kitorang kene tunggu kt office sementara nk dpt kete baru..

terpaksala angkut bag..nasib office tu dlm bbrp ratus meter je..

kelakar btul rupe bus tourist ni..takdela double decker cam London or Spain..
sempoi giler..tp ni pun tak sempat naik..
takpela..next time..
ni kene dtg Amsterdam balik ni..byk tempat tak cover..
but on the 2nd day..we went to so many places..

so stay tuned...
to be cont..
