Special experience for my second alone travelling
Can you image all the things came all across for the past five days….
My second trial alone travelling is in Netherlands, mainly happening in the capital city Amsterdam.
From the beginning of the trip, it was all in wrong position. First of all, I missed my bus to the airport. Can you image an oriental girl who was waiting her bus in the early midnight at 3am in Victoria coach station alone? It’s nothing to surprise really. However, if you heard that I was waiting in the wrong stop. You will just say how carefulness I am. It’s not a big deal. You could fix it easily. Then, you will never though that it is just the beginning of the story.
Yes, after I arrived Amsterdam, the dramatic story began. In Amsterdam the hotel check-in time is usually in afternoon something like 1 or 2pm. My flight arrived at 8, which means I have several hours to kill. It’s fine for me. It was not my first time in town. Everything should be handy like than first time. Um well, as what I said. I planed to have my first walk in the town for walking to the seaside. Everything was perfectly fine. The weather is beautiful, I climb up to the roof of a building, Nemo, to enjoy the bird view of the city. However, things went into the other way around when I back to the hotel. The hotel is closed with the central station. It’s in a very good location. However, if I mention that the red-light district, you can image that what can you see and smell. Yes, drug, alcohol, strange guy walking around. Yes, my hotel is just a street before that. Secondary, the room size is in extremely tiny. My first glimpse of the room is only in that single expression wow. What can I say? Well, the room is only set up with a single bed and a coffee table with a television on the top only. That’s it. No table, no chair and even no window. Can I fly back to London right now? I don’t really desire to stay in here more than any second. I can’t, this trip is not only for holiday, and more is for my final project. I am in duty this time.
Changed and clear my mind and plan what I can do for it. Here was the plan, find another hotel and then start another walk in town later on of the day. It’s not easy that to find a hotel during the weekend, especially in April, the peak season for travelling. Glade of that I did it for my last two nights. At least, better than nothing, even it cost fortune.
Ha! Ha! If you think this is the end of the story then you are wrong. That night, I back to hotel and had my first night in this scary hotel. Well, nothing will be even better than you got a fever and no one beside you. Yes, I guess I was too tired for the thing in whole day, more than 20 hrs without rest.
Here are other stories. Walking in a heavy raining day without an umbrella with you. The feet hurt because of walking around the city from 9 to 6 or 7 mostly of the day. It’s normal however; the walking had made my feet finger blood. It hurts so much for the following days. The worse thing is to walk around the town with your laptop. You will ask why not just put it in the hotel. Well, this is another story. What you will see normally in your hotel, a very welcome of information and a safety instruction if fire alarm acts. Guess what I had in my hotel, a big note that telling you they don’t promises the safety for you personal belongings. Tell me, what will you do?
This is just a tiny pieces for my dramatically experience. Don’t ask about how quiet is the hotel during the midnight or how does that strange smell came into the room or how thin is the wall…etc.
What’s my conclusion for this trip? Well, I only can say money and real experience buying the whole story.
