My hubby was very much looking forward to our first stop, which was Amsterdam. We were suppose to stay 4 days and 3 nights then drive for a business meeting in Zandvoort which is 45 minutes away from the city. We figured 2 nights of questionable state is quite good enough to start our 3 week workation.The hubby started having the flu in manila which made him very cranky the whole 12 hours from hong kong. He had equalizing problems during the plane's descent which made me feel i would like to borrow a feeding bottle to make him suck it, which is the usual remedy for newborns traveling, the other option, which would require no paraphernalia but would definitely scandalized the person sitting beside us.
Upon arriving in Amsterdam, which was quite early, we got in with a CX flight that arrives at 6am . so we were couldn't check in and decided to go into the hop on hop off canal boat ride, which I highly recommend. We went walking until 2 pm and check in. From the moment he got in , he resurfaced from our room 2 days after. So me and my companions decided to grab a drink at Leidesplein, which is like this square of bars and pubs. We decided to start drinking without eating, the cold or jetlag made me fell not hungry at all. i felt it after my 3rd double scotch with coke, we decided to go to Argentinean steak house which were quite abundant in Amsterdam, I never got to try it. I needed to get home, my first night in Europe, I was sick because of drinking. jetlag+ not eating+ scotch, off to the loo.
