Made use of the public holiday on 3 Oct to make a trip up to Amsterdam.
Originally, the plan was to drive up to Paris but it was too far by car for a day trip so we decided to head to Amsterdam.
Left Leverkusen at 6.30am and the drive took us approximately 2.5 hours before we crossed the Dutch border and saw...
....Cows and more cows! LOL
Thought of how this would make my bf's day... He'd totally stick his head out of the car and 'MOOOOOOO' at those cows hahahahah xD
Got lost all the way to Amsterdam Centraal Station but we managed to find a carpark in front of the main train station.
My first impression of Amsterdam was... so vibrant and colourful and so many bicycles! HAHAHAHAHA.
And then there was the 'seedy' part of the Dutch capital... how liberal they are about their sexuality LOL.
Coming from an Asian country where such talk is frowned upon, having the words 'sex', 'condom' and 'porn' headlining several stores was really an eye-opener.
But the Dutch don't care. Really.
So we were really famished by then, despite having stuffed ourselves with chocolates (my stash from my fridge lol) along the 4.5 hour drive up to Amsterdam and we went searching for food.
