Windmills. Tulips. Wooden clogs with pointed tips. Folk costume.... These are the symbols of Netherlands (or Holland) - an Europe country that I yet set foot on, though I've been to this part of the world for almost 1o times. The beautiful images of the country was the backdrop of the Hongkong drama (僵). Of course, I'm not there to seek exciting encounters withe the vampires, but the beautiful landscape that also comes with the architecture (both old and new).

Preparation

The preparation for this trip started early. The planning took place far much earlier than I expected!

The air ticket was confirmed in September 2016, when there was a promotion.
Intensive planning involved trying to figure out the different cities in the Netherlands, the transport system as well as the accommodation. It's like from walking in the dark and slowly seeing some litted path :)

Several things were accomplished in the March Holidays (2017):
  • Accommodation booked
  • Travel passes booked and arrived (within a week)
  • A list of places to visit was drawn up
