Rotteram : First Day in 2016

First new day in 2016, we visited new place that can be reached from Den Haag at 30 minutes. Rotterdam. The largest port in Netherlands and also the second largest port in the world.



We arrived at Rotterdam Central Station. Very modern building. With its unique design, the building of Centraal Station can become one of the icons in Rotterdam. And it becomes our starting point to explore the city.

Delft

 06 December, 2015

 Delft, the pretty small town not far from The Hague, only 15 minutes by train and we are there. The main attraction in Delft is the Markt (main square). It can be reached on foot from Delft Train Station. We will pass some beautiful canals along the way to the Markt. And since it was near Christmas, we can see Delft was beautifully decorated with so  many lights.

Zurich, Liechtenstein, Mt Pilatus, Lucerne

23 October 2015, Zurich

 It was half term break for Kaeo’s school, so we decided to have short vacation, and because Kaeo always wanted to try sleepers train, we chose to go to Zurich by City Night Line Train. We booked the tickets online from http://www.bahn.com/i/view/GBR/en/prices/europe/overnight-travel.shtml  We took sleeper train from Amsterdam Centraal to Zurich Main Station. The train left at 20.31 and arrived at Zurich Main Station at 08.00. We bought tickets for couchettes with 4 berth in the compartment. The price was a bit higher compare with 6 berth in one compartment, but it was worth it, as with 6 berth would be very packed.
