Hangovers are a bitch, but you have to push through them when on vacation.  We got up early with the intent to catch the train into Amsterdam to play tourist.  We got ready and I suggested we drive into the city and park instead of taking the train.  We were going to be heading b…

The Irish boys awoke me at 10am, and I was feeling groggy as all hell.  I got some toast breakfast sweating the fact that I was supposed to be at a family friend´s place in Oegstgeest (30 min outside Amsterdam) that day.  After packing my shit, I found out on my first time to the interne…

After lots of planning...going through dozens of websites...thinking of ideas...finally the day is here then, we're departing from Amsterdam for the 5th trip to Singapore in five years! Ok can hear you think..5th time to such a small place?? Well there's an easy answer to that, it became my second…

Spring at Keukenhof, when the park will be feast for the eyes with a staggering 7 million bulbs in full bloom, flowering shrubs, centuries-old tree and ornamental lakes with fountains. On the way to this garden you will progress through the oustanding flowerfields. Nothing i can say more..when you look at the pictures or you visit this garden yourself then you will know why Keukenhof is place you should not miss when you are in Amstesdam.

This was again one of my 1-day-visits in a city where i was'nt supposed to go - at first - just a bit spontanous. I was in Germany for few days visiting friend, when there was an idea: "and why won't  we go for one day to Amsterdam, it's only 300km, huh?" Then our driver said - "hm... it means…

I love Netherland and it was my dream travel destination ;) After waiting and planning (and of course saving money ;p) since long time ago, here come the day!!! Ho ho ho I travel by myself and flied gratefully. So, when I arrived and stepped my feet on the ground, I said to myself, " Am I dreaming??? :D"

    God morning Amsterdam.     We had a few hour of sleep at Holiday Inn.  The sun was shining when we went to breakfast at 09.30.  I love hotel breakfasts, and among other things, to day I`m going to have Dutch pancakes.   After breakfast we went to Schiph…

Yeah… today is departure day!!! We are so excited; we can hardly wait to board the plane. Because of that, and for the want of extra legroom, we took an early train to Schiphol Airport so we could check-in three hours before the flight was due to take off. For the flight we had booked a comfo…

We met everyone at Vondel Park in Amsterdam. We arrived a little early to get things set up for grilling and a sign posted. Within a short time people started showing up. We were situated near a nice pond and had a rocky area perfect for seating. There was even a large tree so that we had shade as …

Going out to Amsterdam with my dad

Every year there's the Amsterdam Gay Pride. The thing that makes this one distinguished from other Gay Pride's is the canal pride. Boats wil sail through the canals in the city centre making a statement. It's like a carnaval in the canals, the boats are decorated richly and the participan…

Every first saturday of the year in Amsterdam, my home city, a big procession of boats with Gay people (and sympathising 'straight' people) is navigating in the Amsterdam Canals. Maybe 100 boats with especially for this event designed themes on board (and behind that another 100 boats with sympathi…

Caught our flight from London Gatwick to Amsterdam. Then took the train into the central station, it was very easy. Found our hostel and settled in, it was about 6pm when we got to the city.  Walked around a bit and tried to look for something to eat, someone recommended that we try Indonesian…
