Today is our 2nd day at Amsterdam. We went to Zaanse Schans for the windmill village.
After I had written the diary this morning at around 7:15am, I got back to bed and had the 2nd round sleeping session. When I woke up, it was already 11:15am and breakfast time was passed already.
The weather today is sunshine but with strong wind. Especially at Zaanse Schans, it is located at the countryside of Amsterdam and temperature is slightly lower than the urban area.
After a simple breadfast (or brunch), we took the bus from Zwanenburg to Amsterdam Sloterdijk train station as usual and transited the train to Zaanse Schans. However, we got on the wrong platform and the train was ran opposite site of Zaanse Schans. As a result, extra 45 mins was spent to find the right platform and finally arrived to the windmill village at almost 3:00pm. We found that Hollander are really very nice and eager to provide a helping hand for the person with the necessarity.
Windmill village is very beautiful just like my imagination. The houses are look like those I'd watched in cartoon and are placed neatly. Although the purpose of windmill is for sightseeing more than it's actual function (wind energy), it already make all the visitors unforgetable. I've seen the most clogs in my life also. The beautiful design of clog products are placed all around, i.e. magnets, stationerys, glasses, key rings, mobile strap, chinas, shoes, etc. The screen is so charming as many many clogs are placed together.
Tomorrow morning we are going to Keukenhof for the tulip and hope the journey would be ran smoothly.
