janji harus ditepati....so, here my europe travelodge tapi ini baru intro sahaja...wahhh gituu
semuanya bermula pada bulan Januari yang lepas bila si Niza, my travelling partner ajak pergi ke Holland since my aunty is working there. Jadi, after tengok kalender dan merancang cuti, we bought the ticket from MAS pada harga RM 3,328 to Amsterdam. We consider the price as OK laa sebab its include return ticket from Senai airport, kalau from KLIA price would be less maybe around RM 2,800 kot. Why did i put the price up?? because people asked lerr. But u may get cheaper price kalau naik KLM airlines. KLM airlines is from Holland itself, price normally x sampai rm2500 with return ticket.
then we started to plan. Ko nak pergi negara asing ko kenalah plan dari awal hokeh. Sampai demam2 aku masa nk plan trip ni. Haha...Tapi semuanya at the end of u're fingertip. Google sahaja mana nak pergi, sediakan itenerary. Familiarized u'rself with the map, pakai google map yang boleh nampak bangunan, ape nama dia x pasti, Go Google about it. List down everything. Berapa helai baju nak bawa. ape nak makan dekat sana nanti, berapa duit nak bawa, kat mana nak tinggal, kat mana train station, kat mana bus station, learn a bit about their language especially dkt paris kena lah ckp french, diorang x faham english sgt
Macam kami hanya di Holland sahaja ada relative, after that pergi Belgium, Paris & London on our own. Aku masa tuh fikir, boleh ker kita ni berdua je nak pergi negara omputih pulak tu, selamat ke, x bahaya ke perempuan anak dara pulak tuh...haihh...but Alhamdulillah, we survived safe & sound...nanti i bagi tips how to be safe & avoid pickpocket. Sana ramai hoii pickpocket, mereka dikira golongan professional sebab yang pickpocket ko x pakai selekah, sume cantik kacak bergaya pakai blazer & suit lagi, u would not suspect mereka pun.
Sebelum pergi we all dah settlekan everything for transport dari 1 country to another since ada 4 negara kita nak pergi, places to stay pun dah settle & booked dari malaysia lagi, tempat or attraction places yang nak pergi yang memerlukan ticket pun semua kita dah settle, booked & paid dari malaysia lagi. Duit yang dibawa hanya memang untuk makan dan shopping sahaja. So, less cash u akan bawa, lebih selamat la.
We were there for 12 days...lagi 2 days tu consider travelling day sebab duduk dalam flight je pun...so dalam 10 days je sebenarnya...from 24 April 2013 - 7 April 2013. Kalau ikutkan hati nak lagi lama, boelh cover lagi byk tmpt...tapi apakan daya takde org nak ganti tempat kerja, cuma dapat cuti 8 hari sahaja....sob...sob...and we don't get to vote...yeay!!! alahai rasa ralat sebenarnya, tp ticket bought already what...
jadi bermulalah perjalanan kita dari dari Senai ke KLIA ke Amsterdam yang memakan masa dalam 20jam itu kalau dikira dari senai + transit time in KLIA, kalau dari KLIA terus ke Amsterdam dalam 13 jam... hambik kau...kematu pungkok...dalam flight tu cuma ada 2 groups of malays, kami berdua and lagi 1 group makcik pakcik tua dalam 6 org begitu..the rest of the passenger adalah mat salleh & sume cakap bahasa alien bukan english tau..alien sungguh rasa...they were talking in dutch language...all seats were occupied, plane adalah penuh amat
on 27/4 tu aku masih bekerja, cuma ambil off petang....balik kerja dlm 1.30pm sempat pergi bank nak activekan credit card in case of duit habis dkt sana...rushing sangat sampai x sempat nak lunch, cuma dapat makan dinner itupun dah at 9pm di KLIA masa transit lalu menyebabkan gastric attack dalam flight...being a pharmacist memang berbondong2 ubat aku bawak tapi sume masuk dalam luggage...apekahh?? then dengan muka tak malu nye minta pada steward MAS ubat gastric. Dapatlah actal 2 biji tapi x hilang pun sakit perut tuh. So i was up all night dalam plane selama 13 jam sebab sakit perut tak boleh tido...can u imagine how jetlag i am bila sampai holland tuh. By the way, time differences is 6 hours late in Holland.
We reached Schipol Airport 7am Holland time, Malayisa time 1pm. My paksu & maksu came to pick us up. Then straight away balik rumah mereka in Den Haag, a small town in Holland about 1 hour drive from the main city. Main city dia ialah Amsterdam.
first meal serve, tapi x luak makan sebab gastric sampai steward tu tanya, kenapa x makan?? x sedap ke?? haha...terus mintak susu lepas tu sebab takleh telan ini semuaa...tidakkk...rugi sungguh
second meal is breakfast, nasi lemak...pulun habis sebab lapar sebab dkt 10 jam x makan sampai perut pun dah sehat semula
3 hours more to reach after about 9 hours journey
we are on top of ukraine air...yeay!!!
schiphol international airport...pronounce as 'skipol' not 'shipol'
'sch' dikira as 'K'
a must take photo on the signage...tak bley zoom dekat sebab muka orang selebet setelah kematu pungkok 13 jam dalam flight
very nice of my maksu & paksu who came to pick us up...siap kirim 1 kilo ikan bilis dan 1 kilo cili kering lagi dari malaysia utk dibawakan...naseb baik lepas kastam...kalau tidak...haha
tips utk lepas kastam: sila jalan di lane 'nothing to declare' dengan muka confident walaupun nampak busuk, my cousin last time x lepas kena tahan dekat kastam
sini kastam dia x strict on foods yg dibawa x macam australia ye kawan2...i bought ikan bilis, cili kering, maggi, milo 3in1, sup campbell instant, biskut, tuna dan macam2 lagi...haha
on way to aunty's house in den haag, u can see the windmill...
yang ini jenis moden punya made from steel...diorang memang generate energy pakai windmill sebab sana angin dia Subhanallah, kuat sangat...memang x henti berpusing la kipas tu
jenis old school from wooden tu nanti baru letak ok
sampai di sini sahaja, to be continue Europe Trip Day 1 later
nak buat intro je dah makan masa dekat 3 jam...hadoii...macam siput sungguh lerr
