Belgium (Brussels) day 3

hi ho! before May is actually over, i think i better update on the trip before i forget most of the things that ever happened there.

ok day 3. bertolak seawal pkl 8 pg ke AmstelStation. The tram map given by the GVB was not really clear on where to go down at for tram changing to other routes. so trial and error je la. sebbek smpai AmstelStation tu around half 8. quickly went to the Eurolines counter to get the luggage tag. mind you that you still have to go to the counter eventhough you've printed out your ticket online. from the counter you'll know which bus you should board and also the pass to actually climb up the bus stairs. phm ke? because i thought we didnt have to go to the counter because we already have the ticket in hand. but the lady told us that we still need to get the pass from the counter (what's the point of printing out the ticket then? sebbek pki printer opis. kui kui kui).

the journey took us nearly four and a half hours from AmstelStation (Amsterdam) to Bruxelles-Nord Station (Brussels). sampai kat Brussel tu je da terbangang2. ye la. zuhaira kata bus benti kat train station yg tak jauh pn nak g Central. bizarrely enough, we couldnt find any trains!!! rupe2nye bus tu benti kat belah mane tah sbb jalan2 ditutup utk national strike. Brussels is the central of Europe so people were still doing protest for the treaty. so terpakse la ktorg tarik beg nk carik train to Central. sebbek ade pakcik sorg ni tunjuk metro mane satu nak ke sana. so ktorg pn naik la metro ke sana.

disebabkan baru je sebulan yg lalu g Brussels, jadi tade la excited sgt. smpai2 je trus cari kebab dulu (kebab yummy!!!) and baru nak jalan2, ujan da turunn... terpakse la lepak kedai mane2 sampai muke pakcik tu naik bengang tgk ktorg ni. hahah... pastu balik hotel lepak2 sampai ujan reda. mase tu pn da kul 7 camtu. ingat nak carik purse tapestry yg makcik pesan tp byk kedai ttp awal sbb ujan. so xley nk buat ape.

jalan2 carik mussels and waffles mlm tu. no choc this time sbb da naik muak tgk choc. :-) amik gamba sket2 and balik hotel tido. if any of you wants to go there, i suggest you try Hotel Alma. it is right at the side of the Grand Place. one minute to halal restaurantsss (byk halal restaurants) and 2 minutes to the Grand Place itself. reasonable price with clean towels, and superb facilities. (eh asal promote hotel lak ni?) hahaha..

ok... tamat kisah brussels. next!
