Day 21: Back to Amsterdam, full throttle walk around

We took out the Amsterdam pass booklet to search for places missed on day one. Our first pit stop was an old wind mill stationed outside the present Amsterdam, it lies near the last local train station, built mainly for the purpose of water transportation and controlling floods. We reached there at around 9am in the morning of 24^th may. It is a very nice and scenic place, very quite and the tour around the mill is very exciting and thoughtful, fills with unknowns. After spending 2 hours there, we left at around 11am, back to the main city. Following the day one in Amsterdam, We again visited some more museums, and also started picking up our goodies, that are offered for free along with the Amsterdam pass from various locations. 

We picked Haniken bottle opener, silver key chain, chocolates, enjoyed free coffee and tea. After going on like this for a while, around 2pm we were out of energy, so finally we decided to take a peaceful boat tour, which was our second free canal ride included in the pass. It took about 45 minutes and finally around 3 pm we were back on the ground. We went to find some place to eat, which was usual as you can case, french fries. Finally after settling hunger issues, now comes the point where, we don’t want to go anywhere, but had no other choice as our train for Copenhagen was at 6pm, we still have 2 more hours to pass.

We roamed around for another 1 hours, just looking for anything we missed or something we can buy. But nothing that could pop-up in front of our eyes, done with all that we could do, so we headed back to the station, found ourselves a nice bench to sit down,relax and tic-tock. The remaining 1 hour, all we thought was that what we did in these 3 days, how we spent night on the roads of Amsterdam, the experience of Amsterdam night life, red light area, the sexy police officers and playing cards. This was our first leg of Euro trip, truth be told, it was fantastic. 

Although Amsterdam didn't look that pretty as you see in movies. The first experience of local transport outside Copenhagen was amazing, I mean it is so simple anyone can understand with just a bit of thought process. Now all we wanted is to board the train [our train was direct from Amsterdam to Copenhagen], and just sleep. We were really tired after today’s long marathon walk through the city. Finally when the train was on the platform, felt like we never wanted to leave the place. Though it may seem, what did did we do in all the trip (no lap dance, no sex, no booz and no crime), but the thing is this that you don't have to do actually do them to feel them. May be it is the feeling of just being there, the x-factor and all the art and nigh-outs felt good enough.  Back to the platform, we boarded the train and we gazed on the city of Amsterdam for one last time, as we will not be coming back here during this Euro trip. 

We might come back in future, who knows but we are surely won't be coming back during this summer. Although it is always a sad feeling, leaving a place behind, not sure when you will come back. But that's the way it works, you just have to let go. We will miss this trip, as this was our first of many Euro trips, and it was really amazing. In the sex capital of Europe, wandering all the night and doing stupid things like, playing cards in front of red light area, going to the strip club, sleeping outside the station, eating French fries all 3 days and collecting free gifts from all over the city. It was full of fun, the way we got the things done and the idea of getting to know new things. Surely this trip will help us in understanding the way the transportation works in Europe, it was full of that experience much needed, if we want to complete the Euro trip in the time we have. We already had plans for all our future trips, and in what order we are going to do them, only thing was that how much time we need for each of them.

Our next trip plan was for Paris. Now we just need to plan on when to leave and how long we need to stay.  This is due till we reach back to Copenhagen.

See you all in Copenhagen soon.
