Sis & Me - Holland & Its Charm!
Its been really good to be able to hang out with my sister after not seeing her for almost 6 months. Gosh... I am already missing her. This trip to Holland actually allows me to be alot more independent and see alot more things than those other visit I had. I was force to be in Amsterdam town because my sister lives in the hotel in Amsterdam near the Schipol Airport. So for 3 days, I travelled by train from Dordrecht to Amsterdam Town and its slighting more than 1 hour! which to me is kinda a very good experience. Train rides are really quite fun but painfully expensive! EUR32.00 for a return ticket which is equivalent to SGD64.00 to and fro! God damn expensive la.

After just two rides on the train... I became alot more confident and even went on trams rides. Sis said to hire a taxi and before she knows it, I was holding her hand hopping on to a tram! EUR5.20 for both of us for a 10mins ride on a taxi which would cost us EUR15 per ride. So we save some Euros there! I am so brilliant! haha

So yes, I have lotsa adventures on my own without Jos' protection. Although on some days he travel from Rotterdam to Amsterdam just to pick me up from my little adventure but that didn't stop me from feeling good about being able to return home safe on days I was left to return to Dordrecht on my own. I am quite proud of myself because I am quite a scardy cat!
Besides my little adventures on train and trams rides, my sister and I did many things together and on one day with Jos as a tour guide. We visited Volendam which is a town in North Holland. Its an old fishing village that is now turn to a tourist spots with souvenirs shops and some pub restaurants aeatery to hang out. Really nice place to be. Check out the pictures, you will agree its beauty!
Next we went to Zaanse Schans a beautiful place with lotsa of windmills. This time of the year is the best time to visit Holland because of its awesome weather and flowers everywhere!
We have also visited loads of other places like the Scherving in Den Haag and the Rijks and Van Gogh museum. Totally awesome which I will eleaborate more in my next post.
