Today's destination... Amsterdam

Took the train into Amsterdam... takes about an hour from Den Haag to Amsterdam. Had to wait for a while at Station Centraal because we had just missed the train. Singgah kat Albert Heijn to get the most thirst quenching and yummy orange and mango juice :)

First stop upon arrival in Amsterdam was the Tourist Office kat luar the train station. There were so many people there! Ingat nak cari some free map ke, some advice ke... tapi with the crowd, we decided to meredah je lah... and rely on the guidebook.

Arriving at the Amsterdam Centraal Station

Walking along the Damrak

The sun was shining brightly... it was quite panas. We walked down the main road... ikut je the crowd, hehe. Referred to the map and noticed that we were near the infamous Red Light district. Mentioned it to Skinner... do we dare? What the heck... we're in Amsterdam afterall and it was bright daylight ;) It would be like going to Le Louvre and not seeing Mona Lisa. Plus, despite the seediness of the area, it is reputed to have the best architecture and buildings in the whole of Amsterdam.

So dengan langkah berwaspada, we stepped into the unknown...
