Conquering the West - Amsterdam!

Our stay in Amsterdam was very much shortened due to unforeseen circumstances.. Nonetheless, we're all set for a great beginning to our 1/2 month holiday! =)

This series should be more pictures than words - you guys are more interested in photos anyway.


Flight to Amsterdam! We took the Polish National Airlines - LOT. They actually serve liquor for free! We tried whisky+coke while Herm indulged in his fav sok pomarancja. =) I think I gotta drink more to train up...


RijksMuseum @ Schiphol Airport. It features peasantry in the Golden Ages. Small exhibition but quite a nice one. =)
Hehs the apple wasn't part of it. Neither was the huge statue I was sitting on. =)


Taking the train from Schiphol Airport to Amsterdam Centraal. =) Btw, we arrived in Amsterdam a day before Queen's Day - Orange Carnival! Yep, the railway station was giving away orange 'crowns' - Ga mee actually means Follow me!


Sights of Amsterdam at night while waiting for our elusive shuttle to our hostel some 44km away from main Amsterdam. =)


Our beach hostel that we barely experienced.. in this weather, it's truly difficult to enjoy beaches. =P In any case, breakfast was good.


Snapshots of the ongoing carnival just before we boarded our bus to head for our next destination - Brussels~
