Amsterdam - Here I Come - Part 9 (Volendam 3)

Keesokan paginya, kami keluar awal untuk menikmati suasana awal pagi di pekan kecil ini. Tak puas rasanya semalam sebab hujan. Berjalan-jalan bergambar sebelum check out.







Cantik kan pemandangan waktu ini?

Kedai pun memang masih belum buka lagi... suasana dah semakin cerah...

(Ini ialah gambarku dalam dutch costume yang diambil semasa bercuti ke Amsterdam yang pertama kali pada tahun 2013 dulu)

 

Dah cukup rasanya bergambar di sini, baru kami kembali ke hotel untuk check out.. 
kedai sebelah hotel..

Time to check-out...

Selepas check-out, kami berjalan keluar menuju ke station bas.. Tak sangka pulak ada pasar tani berhampiran dengan hotel yang kami duduk. Kalau tau tadi, awal dah kami singgah sini tanpa membawa beg. Ini baru je beberapa minit sampai, dah hujan. Bergegaslah kami bawa beg-beg semua mencari tempat berteduh.. :(

Kami teruskan perjalanan ke station bas, sempat lagi berposing tu dalam hujan renyai.. Gambar tak sharp sebab tangan sejuk menggigil kena buka sarung tangan.

 Bas no.316 sampai, kami pun naik menuju ke Central Station. 
Tiketnya berharga 7.50 euro untuk 3 orang.

Alhamdulillah... dah pun sampai central station..

mmm..kena cari jalan ke Houseboat lah pulak.. tempat kami akan stay untuk 2 malam..

Ketika kami turun bas, hujan agak lebat juga. Tapi aku agak hairan juga sebab nampak ada benda-benda putih macam kapas turun dengan hujan tu. Kawanku melintas jalan ke seberang, sibuk memerhati dan mengambil gambar. Tetiba kawanku yang sorang tu menjerit.. "Snow.. Snow!"

Subhanallah... Oh..rupanya snow turun.. happy sangatlah kami :))

Okayyy..dah puas tengok snow tu, kami pun bergerak untuk mencari arah Houseboat kami yang terletak di Oosterdok...

Amsterdam - Here I Come - Part 7 (Volendam 1)

Selepas lunch dan solat, kami keluar semula untuk meninjau-ninjau Volendam fisherman's village lagi... walaupun masih hujan renyai...

best jugak main hujan ni...

Oleh kerana hari hujan, ianya agak membataskan kami untuk menikmati aktiviti di situ, ditambah lagi dengan cuaca yang amatlah sejuknya!

"What Women Want".. hmmm... saya suka nama kedai ni :)

Puas jugak main hujan ni... :))

Cuma sayang sekali tak dapat nak naik cruise ke Marken kerana faktor cuaca.. kapal tak belayar..

mmmm... apa yang ada di Marken ni ye?



Marken is a village in the Waterland and Zaan Region, North Holland, Netherlands on a peninsula in the IJsselmeer lake. It is known for its characteristic wooden houses and traditional costumes. It used to be an island in the former Zuiderzee, but is now connected to the mainland by a causeway.

This picturesque little village was originally situated on an island. Floods were regular and often disastrous. To protect their belongings and themselves from the water, the inhabitants created artificial dwelling hills on which they build their houses. As fishery became the main economic activity, the population grew rapidly. When the Afsluitdijk was finished in 1932 and the IJsselmeer lake created, access to the sea was blocked and fishery activities almost came to an end. When a dike between Marken and the mainland was built in 1957, Marken ceased to be an island. Nevertheless, the village still has the look and feel of a fishermen's town and an island. For over a century, it has drawn in visitors who wanted to have a glance at its traditional costumes and picturesque houses.
