EUROPEAN DIARY

PART 1

  Netherland: 3 years ago in June I had been to 10 European countries on a group tour with my family. Out of the 10 countries, one of them was The Dutch Land, Netherland! Our trip started from United Kingdom followed by France, Belgium and then Netherland, but I would definitely want to start with Holland.

    In the Morning we were in Brussels, Belgium and by the evening we reached Rotterdam in Netherland. We went to a nearby Indian Food Restaurant where it never felt that we were outside India with the ambience and service of the restaurant. For the night we stayed in The Inntel Hotels, Rotterdam Centre. Good Hotel with nice scenery around hotel and breakfast facilities. The place is well connected with Tram and underground Metro Station Leuvehaven. Connectivity in Netherlands is no problem.

    In the morning, we were on our way to Hague. 2 peculiar things that I noticed on my way were that there was a separate allotment on the roads for cyclists, and there were beautiful fields and gardens of Tulip Flowers of various colours. Both these still make an unforgettable memory.

The Tulip Gardens Around

    Anyways our next destination was ‘Madurodam’, a park near Hague. It is not just a park but much more than that! The first thing that you would say after entering the park is ‘WOW’. This park is not an ordinary park, it is a miniature park that replicates Famous Dutch Landmarks and historical places in the ratio of 1:25! And everything you want to see in Netherland in a small park! What else would a tourist want? And believe me This Park is a TREAT TO THE EYES! The park consists of almost all the must visit places of Holland like Amsterdam Airport, Port of Rotterdam, Tulip Fields, Football Stadium, etc. Not only the miniatures but also the moving vehicles installed in them entertains everyone. There can be thousands of images and videos clicked, but one of my friend has rightly said, “Eyes Capture, what Camera cannot!” And indeed you would definitely be amazed after visiting this place even without clicking photos. Apart from that there were various shops there to purchase Souvenirs of Netherland. Indeed The whole of Dutch Land in a Park!

    We left there in the Noon. After Lunch we went for a Motorboat Cruise (I don’t remember the place). But yes it was another relaxed ride between the city centre. People waiving and greeting always makes you happy as a tourist and you just want to stay in the city. Anyways we had an itinerary to follow and left for another Country.

   This is how I felt in Netherland. Despite having not visited Amsterdam, the country’s capital, I still felt that I saw the whole of the country because of Madurodam. You should definitely go there. I loved the way people live in this country, caring and cycling! I would like to request my readers to share your blog pages so that I can read you’ll.
