AmsterdamseBos&Giethoorn(Holland)
My old sister said there're too few pictures so I'm gonna load like 236286432 pics today. On 18th June, my aunt drove us to this Pancake House located somewhere among the waters, trees and all. The air is really fresh, the trees are really green and the scenery very beautiful!
I've got big feet.
We spotted this child trying to climb onto the roof top and she was wearing jailbird stripes! So dangerous! (Well.. this is actually a doll =p)
Windmill!
Here they are.. the pancakes! Super nice and huge and sweet. Love it!
It's shiok to be having afternoon tea in this pretty place.
This is the interior of the pancake house. Nice hor.. it's warm inside though.
All in all, delicious pancakes and a nice place to chill! Wish SG has this kinda places!Then on the very next day, my aunt drove us again to this place called Giethoorn (pronounced as hit-horon if I'm not wrong). Again, beautiful place with canals everywhere. It's just like little Venice although I've never been there before.
It was drizzling slightly with strong winds that day. And I finally got to wear trench coat! 
The roof of this house looks like it's being carpetted. How cosy!
This is where we were about to take a boat to tour around the 'town'.
Spot me!
Such boats are for rent as well together with the paddles so you can actually paddle around on your own but because it'll be too tiring for all of us to paddle and it'll be kinda bad if it starts raining, we decided to pay for a boat that is covered and with an engine hahaha.
So here it is! A sheltered boat with a boat driver!
The start of the boat ride.. many pictures of the houses and scenery.
People on the unsheltered boat. More like sampan actually.
There're many bridges in Giethoorn because they link people to their houses. One house is linked by a bridge. So you can imagine how many bridges there are!
I like this picture! Cuz they sky is very blue and there's trees and water.
Ominous clouds.. the sky here looks very big because there's no tall buildings to block them.
The meh meh that we saw on the way back to the car. It has a number on its ear lo.
This is called borrowing colours since I'm so tree-like with my brown coat I'd blend in with the suroundings.
At the end of the boat ride, we went to the cafe nearby to have tea and coffee again though I always drink coke or pepsi. A cup of coffee or tea or a glass of coke costs about 2€ here that's like 4 SGD! This is the waiter boy who is very pretty hahahha.
Anyone may have guessed that this.. is not my boyfriend of course! He's the boat driver being requested by my aunt to take a picture with me!
Hahaha no angmoh boyfriend! He still looks happy though :)
