IAMSTERDAMED!!

Finally I successfully ticked off one thing from my Bucket List..Yes I did it..WOHOO!!

I successfully got a pic clicked in front of the IAMSTERDAM landmark in the city of Amsterdam, Netherlands. And its then I realised that its tough to get the pic with you and the entire letters in one frame.Plus you have a close to 95% chance of getting photbombed.;-)

I could manage only one decent shot in which I am there and the letters are there mostly but I did get photo bombed every time.I may have done the same to many of the pics of others myself:D

But the point is its one off the list and I have visited one city which I had planned to go for long time.The city is pretty and its a mixture of different cultures,people and the shops. You can find a Newyork pizza in the heart of the European city and right next to them would be the shop selling the super cut I love Amsterdam umbrellas.

For anyone who wants to visit Amsterdam the city has a few upfront attractions 1.The Dam Square 2.Madame Tussads 3. IAMSTERDAM 4.Canal Rides

.
There is also a place nearby where the windmills are there but since we did not go there I cannot really comment ;-)

So on a bright Saturday   morning we reached the place at around noon. First on our check list was the DAM SQUARE which we wanted to see really badly, the only problem being that neither me nor my friend knew what it was, where it was and why it was.We knew it was there for us to go necessarily visit the place.We searched ,followed with google maps and then we got lost :D for those who have already been here it might seem funny but both of us were actually trying to find what this place was and where exactly was it.

For those going for the first time …DOnt ask passer byes as 90% of them would be tourists which means either you get no
directions or you get confused or wrong directions…one guy asked us to go straight front and after walking half a km we were told we have moved in the wrong direction all together.Ask the shopkeepers..they are brilliant at directions.

When we eventually found dam square it was pillar…a beautiful pillar ..but a pillar to the naked eye.We got our pics clicked as is the custom .

Then we saw madame tussads rt across the street.we had our lunch and then moved fwd to madame tussads queue and just then it started raining cats and dogs.We had to leave our queue and rush for shelter, and that’s the time we realised we should have relied on the weather forecast and took an umbrella..they are correct sometimes and in Europe I think always.So note to others before going check the weather.

Moving on after a long wait we got in madame tussads. We got our photo clicked with every statue and in very possible pose
…thats the only way to justify the 22 euors we spent for the tour of the place…go crazy that’s the secret for the madame tussads exploration and enjoy to the fullest.

Next in in the agenda was the IAMSTERDAM area..FYI the area is called Museumplein as far as I got to know and not IAMSTERDAM :D …Us we were actually asking people
there where IAMSTERDAM here…you need to take a tram which will take you direct to either Rijk Museum or Museum Plein. The place is easy to spot and the letters hard to miss.

Almost everyone is there and everyone is on the letters..so you cant get a clear picture but its fun to be there and everywhere around.The place has a fun feeling to it an and you can set and relax there.We chilled and relaxed there and had our share of fun.

And thats how our trip came to and end ..fun and always to be rembered it was..two girls dumb enough to be lost in the city yet who somehow managed to get their way through.So yeah…go to AMSTERDAM and ROCK ON!!!
