Right after I arrived in Amsterdam Central Station, I bought ticket intercity train for 5 euro to Castricum. In North of HoIland, I wait for 20 minute before the train arrived. I arrived in Castricum then I went straight to the bus station. The bus costed me 2 Euro, and it would take me to Egmond 2 hours from Castricum station.

After 12 hour international journey, I arrived in the nice hostel called stayokay Egmond. The staffs were really nice and very helpful.

The summer made my day in Egmond so great. The fresh air with floral scent breezed through the air and made the day even nicer.

At the weekend, I was going to Amsterdam. Somebody said that you are not visiting Europe yet if you do not visit Amsterdam.

There is big difference between Café and coffee shop; which are TOTALLY different,  You will find a lot of coffee shop, which sell mmmmm coffee, and special item and the most famous specialty in Holland: Space cake and weed. When you enter the place you will smell the special aroma.

I stayed 2 nights in special hostel; which also had coffee shop and I enjoyed special hospitality here. You will try various house specialty items here. Nice aroma of weed, nice magic mushroom, and relaxing delicious space cake.

There is also legendary Amsterdam Special Red Light District. Long time ago the district was fisherman village and monastery. As there were a lot of fishermen gathered here, naturally the old business thrived, prostitution. There are a lot of small special room, which are rented by the girl, transvestite, old and young, pretty, and ugly. It is legal and 24 hour. There are also peeping show and live sex show. The famous live sex show, which has more than 2 branches, is Casa-Nova.

I also visited the capital of one of the famous and the best beer in the world Heineken. You will feel the 4D ride, you will feel how to be brewed to be fermented and to be boiled J. You will also taste the product of every step of the process and finally at the end you will taste the bier itself. You will be taught how to drink and serve correctly.

There are many more things that are interesting that will satisfy your need and make your day fun. There is Rembrandt Huis, home of the famous artist Grand palace of the queen; the famous National Monument; the museum of famous Ann Frank who are captured and killed by Nazi in concentration camp and more!

Compare to other city in Europe, Amsterdam is more expensive for everything, the city is definitely the touristic city!

Conclusion, I would like to go back to this lovely city!!!! You will love it too
