Hi, I am back to Blogspot! It's been a long time I never blogging since 2013. Hmmm.. what is the reason I back to blogging life is because I wanna to share my travel experience here with all of you.
Alright, I back to Europe again for business trip on September 2016. But only manage to travel to these three countries in only 3 weeks time. ( German, Paris & Amsterdam )
Remember my first trip to Europe experience was Hungary, Budapest. Well.. business trip as well. I am thinking to post about it someday after this. Give me sometimes to manage my schedule to blog about my past years travel experience.
I used to take KLM dutch airlines to Europe cause the stop only in Europe. Like if you are going to Paris they will have one stop in Amsterdam Airport Schiphol. So you can choose like 8-10 hours stop in Amsterdam and you can take train or any public transport to town to grab some drinks or take picture with a few attractions. But... to be honest, quite rush and I am sure you won't get enough to stay at the beautiful city.
My first station is Dusseldorf, Germany. Of course finish my job only extend my trip to Paris & Amsterdam.
There is one stop in Amsterdam Airport Schiphol before Germany.
Can't deny it their breads and salmon are fresh and it's really big portion meal in Europe. Suit for me, I am always a big eater xD
We take the small KLM Airbus to Dusseldorf and the period is only 2 hrs something.
Let me intro the three transports I had been took before if you are travelling in Europe.
1. Thalys ( Is a express train but quite a long distance and quite waste time in the train, i will prefer to take jet but if train is cheaper, why not go ahead for it )
2. RailEurope ( Compare with Thalys, raileurope also one of the express train. You can buy the Global Pass if you planning to go whole Europe, it's more worth for the price )
3. Veuling ( Is a jet, fast and cheaper, I will always take this as my transport in Europe and it won't cost so much expensive. Train have to take like 6-9 hrs from each country to another country but jet only 1 hr )
My company rent a stay in Dusseldorf for me, it's a huge apartment for two. Of course, I have someone accompany me to this trip.
YES! Is Mee Sedap as we afraid got nothing to eat for supper, so we bring some maggie, ramen. a small pack of rice and milo powder!! LOL
The living room of the apartment.
and there are some coffee shops or bar 5 mins walk from our apartment.
The second day we buy train ticket to Cologne, Germany.
Cologne Cathedral
And the second station is Paris. We also rent a room through Airbnb. The owner from Japan but her husband is Parisian.
When we arrive Paris the time is 9pm plus, we didn't take any dinner in the train as dinner. Oh ya, we take Thalys all the way in Europe ( From Germany > Paris > Amsterdam )
Paris Disneyland is must. Catherine is the only one who acc me all the way even acc me to work in Germany. LOL
The fireworks show is really worth to watch. Plus the weather is so nice and suitable to visit everywhere. At least you won't feel hot when you having fun in Disneyland. Choose the right time to travel, it's so much different between autumn & summer.
We don't really like Paris compare with Amsterdam, Amsterdam scenery is so much better than Paris. Paris is not that clean from my imagination. But yes, we did really enjoy shopping there cause those branded is really cheap compare with Malaysia! The outlet near Disneyland must include in your list if you are planning to Paris.
I will go for the second post about Amsterdam.
Catherine is really the partner who can travelling with. But the only interest is not same is, she don't drink and she can't drink. LOL The second time we travel together was to Macau & Hong Kong, of course not only two of us again. We have totally 5 women and they are really the best person who can travelling with! Will post about Hong Kong trip after Amsterdam post.
Hope you guys enjoy my 1st post in 2016!
