[Flying Journey]: I Amsterdam

Well, it's my first visit to Amsterdam and I was so so excited! There were so many things that we could do in Amsterdam, as such visit Windmill Village at Koog Zandjik, visit Brussels, Belgium, visit Red Light District, strolling around the canals - travel from one canal to other canal, try their coffee (not starbucks)! and so much more!

So little time yet so many things I want to do, I have limited choice and also travel companion. It will be nice if we can get others to travel with us.

On first day, we had lunch at Wok to Walk. I know it sounds asian but it's delicious! Then we stroll around Ledseiplen area, the shopping places and supermarket. SUPERMARKET! SUPERMARKET! I LOVE SUPERMARKET!!!!!!!

We walked to Jordaan area. Jordaan has many coffee shops and we just hop in to one of the shop. It looked like more to a furniture shop compare to just a coffee shop. Unique.

Well, their coffee just so-so and my latte was overloaded with foams. However, their lemon tart was so good! Super love it!

After this, we went to stroll around the canal area, exploring town by foot. Yes, by foot instead of by bike.. It's kinda tiring at the end of the day. Managed to grab so many good shots around this area..

Before we called it a day, we had dinner at Cafe de Klos, it is famous with their ribs. We tried ribs (spare ribs and smoked ribs), escargot and french onion soup. I tell you, this is the most yummiest ever onion soup that I've tried. It just so delicious!

So here's the pictures!! 















2nd day, we decided to visit Windmill and instead of taking tour which cost about Euro 45, we took public transport which only cost in total about EUR17. Hotel concierge was really helpful, they gave us direction how to go there which is really really easy and simple.
We took tram either no 1/2/5 stopped at Amsterdam Central and buy ticket train to Koog Zandijk (4 stops from Amsterdam Central - about 20-25 minutes journey) followed by walking about 5-10 minutes. Actually we didn't have any idea how to walk there, but we just followed the crowd. There were so many tourist!

When we went there the weather was just incredibly amazingly super beautiful. Blue skies, chill weather, love the wind and sun. Oh my.

















Overall, I totally fell in love with Amsterdam and I really want to go there again! I've already have my bucket list what to do in Amsterdam!!!!! So excited and I really can't wait :)
