Europe Backpack - Germany and Holland

22 Sept  2010 - Berlin

Spending the whole night in train, we finally arrived in Berlin. The regrettable thing is I didn't allocate a lot of time in Berlin, so we only went up Bundestag, the Parliament building of Germany. We visited the Berlin Wall, Victory Column (too bad it was under renovation), holocaust memorial, and during the night, we relaxed as watched a fountain show. The moon that night was bright and big as it was Mid-Autumn Festival.

23 Sept 2010 - Cologne

Cologne has a very big cathedral, other than that, nothing really interesting for us. Nevertheless, it was very nice and relaxing to walk around the city. In the evening, we has a nice all you can eat Chinese buffet.


24 Sept 2010 - Kinderdijk and Amsterdam

After arriving in Amsterdam, we quickly checked in and travel to Kinderdijk, where the windmills are. Very scenic too bad we can't spend much time there.

We arrived in back Amsterdam in the evening. And we went to see the red light district! It was quite an experience, the prostitutes posing in windows, and customer who want them simply open the small door beside the window, and with curtains closed, business..

And so, the end of backpack trip. Great experience obtained!
