Day 37 ~ Amsterdam Day 2

Day 37 ~ Amsterdam Day 2

Today's weather was pretty good.Amsterdam is connected by big canals, in the past this canals was used for trading purposes and now for tourism. In the canals you'll see boats, this boats are not for storing goods or whatsoever, this boats actually house people. Some people living in Amsterdam, lives on houseboats like these.The first museum I visited, is this House-Boat Museum. This is a boat that can actually house a family, with kids.
This is the kids-corner.This is the bathroom in the house boat.
One of the rooms
this is considered the Living Room, where there is TV and chairs.
the miniature garden on top of the boat
after that I visited a couple more museums around that area, like a photography museum.
this is one of the entry ticket.

Day 36 ~ Amsterdam Day 1

Day 36 ~ Amsterdam Day 1

For the past few days, i was unwell and also busy catching up with my friends from NICE, France.
So today I woke up early and made my way down to Paris Nord for my train to Amsterdam!* I adjusted the picture already, no idea why when i upload is like this.*
This I Amsterdam Card that i bought for 58eur, is a card which gives you access to most museums for free in Amsterdam. Depending on how long your stay is at Amsterdam, they sell 24hours, 48hours and 72hours, all at different pricings. Besides gaining free entry to museums, you also have discounts and freebies at certain places. This card also offers you a free canal ride worth 12.50eur if i remembered correctly. :)
With the I Amsterdam Card is this metro pass as well, with 58eur you get both the card and this transport pass which allows you to take all the different mode of transportation there is in Amsterdam like the trams, buses or metro.
This is the first meal I had in Amsterdam, the cookie with the thea is really yummy!
