Europe Travelogue: things i wanna do in!!!!

yayness.. ONE more day to europe! excites much.

DAY 01: Gonna Arrive London late afternoon on wed, i figured we wouldnt have much time to do much for the rest of the evening. i would probably bring S to Primak to slove her discerning issues about insufficient clothing. *snortz*.
On a side Note: for travellors who would like to use their Mobile while in london , Do buy the prepaid "Three" card, it enables you to connect to the internet and cost about 10 GBP? approx.


Would definately head to either Goldmine or Four  Seasons for duck rice at Bayswater before heading to the PriMark, Oxford Branch(Nearest Metro being MARBLE ARCH). Knightsbridge , Harrods, Selfridges, Topshop are all within the bustling area as well.

MIght head down to ALL BAR ONE For drinks after all the shopping:> 10 mins walk down from Marble Arch, super on the way. awesome!

 Its one of the cheaper bar chains in london and currently they are having a promo of 15GBP now for 3 tapas and wine.




DAY 02:Camden Market(Open from Monday through to Sunday, 10am - 6pm)

A day of browsing thru vintage!! OMG im damn excited! 39mins from Bayswater .

Gonna go with the flow today as i have heard the maarket is REALLY big.

Day 03: En-route Milan.

Gonna arrive into milan really late:< luckily our apartment area is apparantly rather lively at night!:>
some information on our area

Corso Como: 10 Corso Como is a beautiful 13,000 square feet complex with a photography and design gallery, a bookstore, a boutique for men’s and women’s clothing and accessories, and luxury goods.
Corso Garibaldi: It is a well known street in Milan famous for a riotous nightlife and designer boutiques. 
 apartment to corso como
apartment to Porta Garibaldi

DAY 04: SERRAVALLE

tickets cost 20EUR each. only "problem" is that the pick up point is 22min walk away from hotel. damn:0

would update what we bought and whether serravalle is reallly worth going:>

Day 05:Milan to Amsterdam
Flight to milan departs at 4pm. so we gotta leave the apartment at approx. 1pm. would probably wake up early and catch the big bus to do a little sight seeing around milan.
Amsterdam: By the time we check in it would probably be only enough time to go take a look at the interesting red light district and maybe a spin or two at the Casino.

DAY 06: Amsterdam
WOuld probably opt for the city hop on hop off bus http://www.citysightseeingamsterdam.nl/




IMHO amsterdam city is pretty small and everywhere could be reach by walking but just to cut back "lost" time. the 15EUR(20EUR for boat/bus combi) this would probably the best option.

Day 07: Amsterdam Windmills:>
http://www.zaanseschans.nl/ is an impressive lot of windmill but it is quite a distance away. have not decided whether to go or not. admission at 2EUR till 4pm.
 Molen Van stolen: isolated windmillhttp://www.molenvansloten.nl/index_eng.htm

if time permits: might head out to the local market at Albert Cuyrup

gtg be back to update more:>
