Well, finished all my classes and just waiting for the final exam starting next week. So it is time to continue, shall we?
So today is one of my favourite day because I'm going to Keukenhof, the tulips garden and farm. That is one of the reason I choose to go for Highlights of Europe because it covers Keukenhof as the garden opens form 21 March to 21 May only. First I know about the garden when I went to my previous centre where it has the garden as wallpaper, first I though it was some random place I till I found about the photo from google, of course. I will always love tulips, they are my favourite flowers since I saw "How Many Hours" music video from Michael Learns to Rock, with the colours and the snow. It just some up what I love.
Before we got to Keukenhof, we went to the clogs and cheese factory where we were given demonstration on how cheese and clog were made. It just to show that cheese is naturally halal and when the y put the additional flavours that make it not halal. The guy who demonstrate the clog is quite cute hehe and he just so good on doing the clogs. I bough the smoke cheese and crackers for my Cotswold trip.
So here we are in Keukenhof. On the way there we are already excited with the tulips farms and when we were there, we just so excited.The ticket price is around 15 euro. We when there and was told to go to the windmills and we make it our mission to go there. But of course, it just so hard not to take photos with all the beautiful flowers, I was just hoping I can bring all of them home. The scenery was breathtakingly beautiful. I just awe and feels like in heaven. With the whimsical music playing in the background and literally have to stop every minutes to take photos. So at first we were 4 and suddenly one of my tent mate "lost" and we thought she went to the windmill already.
So, then we reach the windmill. It was this huge windmill and at the back of it is the tulips farm. We can't got there as there is a small river that separated the farm and the garden. I guess, if not, the tulips in the farm will be ruin as many people just run there in slow motion like in Hindustan movies. Then, we went up and it has spectacular view of the farm and the garden. We did try to find our friend and calling her name from up there. The windmill is is still working as when there's wind, it will turns.
Then we were having break, and I bought waffle and we just have picnic near the grass. Then Maria supply us with all Malaysians' bread and it just feel like home. I just love the moment there and sometimes just wish I can stay there forever. We took time and suddenly realized that we need to go back to our bus promptly as we are given around 2 hours to explore there. Even though, we are on the rush, still manage our time to take the photos. Of course, we would run to different exit but however manage to get to the bus on time. So, it is time to go to Amsterdam
So Amsterdam is a beautiful city but not as clean as Germany. We went to river cruise and to tell the truth, it was quite boring, I don't recommended it. Then we just thought perhaps we have lunch first before exploring the Red light Districts hehe. So of course on the way to the kebab there's Sex Museum and also cannabis lollipops were everywhere. The dtugs and prostitution are legal there. So please don't eat space muffin/cake /brownies because they contains you know what and the smell it just pungent. The people there live without any rules, yeah when we in the river cruise, the girls near the canal just flashes at us, yap, my friends just shocked.
So we when to the Amsterdam square and you can see the Madam Tussauds and Ripleys Museum. I think we took the wrong turn as we didn't see any you know what and the dirtiest that we saw was gay shop. But actually, we are scared and just do our brave face and walk fast along the streets. During that time they have this EUFA Finals in Amsterdam and we saw lots of football fans there. In one of the bar, they saw us and just scream Allah Huakbar and we just walk faster. Then suddenly we saw pink bomb and saw a lot of police coming up to the street and of course we just panick and run away from there. Eventually, we found out that there was riot and some of the people form the bus caught with it and just hide in the corner. It is quite an experience.
Overall, it was one of the highlight for the trip and I love Keukenhof. Even though the city was dirty, I love the old Europe charms and the canals, Amsterdam was what I imagine and perhaps it was good that we are not able to see "the things" in the Red light district as it will not "disturb" our innocent minds. Hehe
Cost of the day:
Keukenhof = 15 Euro
River cruise = 11 Euro
Food and drinks = 15 Euro
Souvenirs = 20 Euro
