Amsterdam Trip

The trip was on 12 December 2008. This is my parents and I first time come to Amsterdam - Netherlands. I arrived at the Amsterdam Schiphol Airport around 6.15pm. The weather here was bloody cold. It was only 1 degree, colder than the weather in Birmingham.

I tried to look for the Amstel Botel near to the Nemo once I arrived at the centraal station, but i failed because it has moved to new location where I had to take GVB boat. Amstel botel is not a building but a "Big Boat Hotel". The public transportations provided here are trains, trams, buses, boats and taxies. It is very convenient because it has a stop to most of the sightseeing places.

Well, to anyone who want to visit here. I suggest you to book a room at Hotel Ibis. It is located just next to the Amsterdam Centraal Station. You do not have to take boat and floating on the sea.

The next day, I woke up early in the moring. After taking my breakfast, then start my journey in Amsterdam.First place that I visited was a shopping mall. Then went to Dam Square and Waterloo. The weather was very cold. I unable to visit all the places due to lack of time and my parents cannot stand under the cold weather and walk for a long disctance whole day.

I will take train to Brussels, Belgium tomorrow by HiSpeed Train.

Wish You All the Best
