Belgium & Holland

Our journey continues from London to Amsterdam & Volendam but before that we stopped at Belgium to taste the famous Belgian Chocolate!!
Come and follow me :)


We continue our journey witnessing the beautiful country-side of Belgium in our way headed to Holland for overnight. We cannot sleep at all that night because both were very excited thinking of the magnificent display of colorful tulips at Keukenhof Tulip Farm :) And yes we were very happy that morning when we arrived at the farm, the view was superb and indescribable !!




Keukenhof includes many gardens and four grand pavilions that show the most magnificent flowers you can imagine. Every year, Keukenhof creates a complete new look according to a central theme. Everywhere you look are tulips and other flowers. Though the park is only opened 8 weeks a year it attracts around 800.000 visitors each year. It is without a doubt the best place to see tulips in Holland










Moreover, Keukenhof is a park where more than 7 million flower bulbs are planted every year. Gardens and four pavilions show a fantastic collection of: tulips, hyacinths, daffodils, orchids, roses, carnations, irises, lilies and many other flowers. You will be overwhelmed by a spectacle of colors and perfumes




As we know, Tulips from Holland are world famous. If you want to see the Dutch tulip fields in bloom, you should visit Holland in April and May. This is the same period in which the biggest flower park in the world, Keukenhof, opens its doors. Wasnt it so amazing and beautiful!!??











After spending heaven time at the farm, we then spent our entire evening at the city of Amsterdam.




 Despite being a small cities in the world, Amsterdam is one of the greatest. From Amsterdam canals to world-famous Amsterdam museum and historical Amsterdam sights, it is one of the most romantic and beautiful cities in Europe. Canal cruises are a popular way to see the city from the perspective of its canals



Very efficient tramp that could bring you any where you want to go around the city


A must go spot for us as HRC collector :)






If u dont have any picture at this particular 'I AMSTERDAM' then you were not here at all hahaha. It was so difficult to capture without having anyone else as the background :(



 This is Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, one of the world's great museums, was reopened in April 2013 by HM Queen Beatrix prior to the accession of Her son Willem-Alexander as the King of the Netherlands. The Rijksmuseum with its magnificent exhibit of more than 8000 works, including those of masters Rembrandt, Vermeer and Rubens, is today one of Amsterdam must-see attractions.



 Amazingly the number of canals have led this city to become known as “The Venice of the North”. And thus, Amsterdam tourism trip is not complete without a boat cruise on these well known attractions in Amsterdam. The four main city center canals are Prinsengracht, Herengracht, Keizersgracht and Singel. There are also numerous smaller canals in the neighbourhood of Jordaan, of which the Brouwersgracht, the Bloemgracht and the Leliegracht are especially pleasant. If you like boats there is also a large upcoming event about historical sail ships called Amsterdam Sail

The most famous french fries stall in Amsterdam..yummmyyy





In the end we found that Amsterdam is one of unique and beautiful place either for a traveler or if you made your mind to permanently stay here :))

Bayswater

Assalamualaikum and Happy Eid-Fitri :)
This month is the Syawal's month and I am so glad and hope we had very meaningful month during Ramadhan. Okay because we are still in the mood of Hari Raya, i would like to share our experienced trying two very good and nice restaurants during our stay in the city of London.
Both restaurants were introduced by our friends; Badrin and Sonia, thanks to both of you guys!! The first night we went to the Khan's restaurant located few blocks from our hotel in Byaswater. It is north indian cuisine, pretty much like those in Malaysia. So, that night we were accompanied by badrin and his wife liyana. They came over to the Khan's and we met there around 8.30. We tried briyani with curry and also naan with tandoori and it was superbbb!! It really tasteful and i love the tandoori so much. So for those who want to try north indian cuisine i would recommend Khan's and most importantly the price is affordable :)
And ohh for information badrin and me were schoolmate since we 13yo and bad thank you so much for the hospitality bro! :)

Bad and Liyana; appreciate all the things from you guys



Okay next, we present you with the famous BananaTree from Bayswater :)
Apparently, this restaurant was introduced by Sonia and Azam who were also our schoolmate. Both were juniors so i didnt get any chance to know them back in school. It just my wife, Miza knew Azam and Sonia since Azam was the same batch with her and Sonia was her junior..it seems that in the super senior haha. I cant remember the name of the food we ordered that suggested by azam but i still can remember how nice the food was! BananaTree also located in Bayswater..not that far from the Bayswater station and guys, they serve halal food :) I think my menu for that night was fried rice with black pepper meat if im not mistaken. I really missed the place because seriously the taste was super delicious!


err smapk reunion?




Thank you both of you; azam and sonia
