Friday night I took an overnight bus into Netherlands. It was quite the experience I thought as the bus journey went rather quickly, there were some times to take a rest. Upon reaching the city of Dover, we were about in line for the cue to enter the cruise ship. Then police came over and directed our bus to go to customs to be SEARCHED! Fun stuff. So the bus turns around (we miss our ferry) but we all go through custom (french customs) and there are dogs sniffing peoples bags etc. No questions for me really, they let me straight on it with limited questions. Alot of people had gotten asked a lot. Finally we all made it through and the bus entered the ferry and we crossed the English Channel in 1.5 hours. Ended up still getting into Amsterdam a little bit earlier then expected which was very nice.
I got to Amstel station - which is a smaller train/bus station not really centrally located. I needed to catch a train from Amstel Station to Centraal Station and then a train from Centraal to the Schiphol Airport. From the airport I then needed to catch a bus to Lisse to go to the flower gardens! WHEW. Luckily I can say that since I'm such an awesome traveler and had been to Amsterdam before, I did this with no problems. Only issue was my card(s) didn't work in the Train ticket machines, nothing was open for me to break a euro bill and there was the nicest train conductor dude that broke my 5 euro bill. Thankfully for him!
Here are some pics!
