C and I just got back from our annual pilgrimage to london..yes london again!! But this time round we made a pit stop in amsterdam before returning home. We were in london for 4 days and 2 in amsterdam. People were asking, why london again?? Guess we just love the place but definitely not the underground!!! Delays, part suspended, fire alert..etc and also wrongly deducted 7.60 quids from our oyster card! Besides that, everything went well, thanks to mr & mrs cabrera *wink*
From london, we took a night bus to amsterdam from victoria coach station. It was a 12 hour bus ride The ride wasn't that bad except at the french border, whereby you got to bring all ur stuff down at the custom checkpoint just like at the s'pore-malaysia checkpoint minus the x-ray machine. Over there, the officers will check every single bag and there were almost 60 of us..just imagine how long it took!!
Finally after 12 hrs, we arrived at amsterdam and we were welcomed by the rain - what a great start! We were in amsterdam for 3 days..2.5 days actually. We spent some time walking around and taking in the beauty of amsterdam, chilling out and most of all catching up with niels, japke & family (Niels is C's ex-cluster mate from NUS)!
On 12th nov morning, we bidded farewell to the krummacher's and left for the airport. Another 12.20 mins flight time and we were back in singapore. We enjoyed ourselves VERY much during this hols and most of all, this trip did not burn a hole in our pocket!! More hols to come perhaps??
