Europe trip Day 1 , Netherlands

I have a serious jet lag on the first day back home .

I slept at 4am = about 9 pm UK time
I woke up at 2 pm = about 7 am UK time

A load of messy clothes and luggage to settle and I still getting myself to get used with the hot weather !

In the meanwhile , I wish I can write down my whole Europe journey before I forget all , I think I left only 50 % in my memories now . Before it drop to 20% , I have to work fast then .






11/9/2009 Surprise farewell from SCCC student fellowship

At night time 1130 , time to departure

12/9/2009
Ferry at UK to Calais-Paris
took about an hour


Good opportunity to see the sunrise ~

Believe or not , the first day , from UK -Paris , we heading to Netherlands passed by the Belgium . It means within a day , I was in four countries ! My first destination was visited cheese and klompen (Wooden clog)factory.





Honestly , the first day was kinda rushed .
Was blur since everything was new and fresh infront of my eyes .

Here I was in Netherlands ?
Was that true , were I dreaming ? Does it just like what some books has described?
can I see tulip ? No , I can't , the flower season was end on May .



Heading to Amsterdam for cruise on the glass domed canal cruise




The window was just like cartoon drawing :)

Was told that, in the past , normal the main entrance of house in Netherlands are small since some tax is charge depend on how wide the door was , weird ! isn't it ?

Therefore , their window could be build as big as the door , or even bigger than the door ,
to move their furniture into their house . And there are some hook on the front wall to carry their furniture :)




Who don't like diamond ?


I hold it , and I lost it from my hold within a second .



We were walking into the sin city in the world !

*legally Sex trade and drug store *

after these street , hell was infront of us !


Drugs store

The two streets along the river are sex trade , drug store and sex stores
Prostitutes are wearing underwear and stand inside the door which you can see clearly .
A single bed with a red colour shaded clothes.If the shaded clothes was close down means either in service or in rest .50 euro per trade , interested?

In the meanwhile , You can smell the drug came out from some bars and coffee shop .

Unluckily , taking photos are prohibit there .
