Camping in Netherlands

Well, one of the most random thing I've ever done in Netherlands is going "Camping", yes camping.. sleeping in a tent for 2 nights, and just relaxing and enjoying the nature, it was a nice option to do. So, I met this guy on internet (crazy I know), and he seems a pretty expert "Camping Guy", so I decided to go camping for a weekend. We picked Landgoed de Hoevens, it's a camp-site just in a border of Belgium, so you can actually walk there. Camping here is quite different than in Indonesia where you can just go to a mountain (for example Gunung Putri), hike, and put your tent randomly. In NL you can only set your tent in a designated area, and you have to pay certain amount of money per tent or per person. It depends on which campsite you're at.
In return of that money you paid, you got a pretty decent facility, like wifi, clean toilet and bathroom, so you can actually take a decent shower, instead of going to a river or find some water source just to wash your face.

My First Day Camping, I didn't do a lot today, just learn how to build a tent, and went shopping to a supermarket nearby to buy some food to survive. After we had our dinner we joined a bunch of people sitting around the campfire, just try to warm up ourselves, because it was one cold night of September.

My Home for Weekend

Second Day, we woke up quite late and just enjoy the sunshine, luckily the sun shine nicely so I can wear my shorts to take a walk in the forest, yes the mission today is to walk to the Belgium border, it took quite a long walk 4-5 hours in total back and forth, but the view was stunning and it was worth the effort.

Belgium Border

We end this camping trip on our 3rd Day. We got exhausted because of the coldness and the walk.. Before we went back home we make a stop at the city nearby and take some random pictures.

Barcelona

I went to Barcelona for 3 days, with my friend. This trip is so last minutely so the plane ticket is kinda expensive around 200 euro round trip. But the rest of the trip were cheap, I think I spent around 300 euro for this trip. Here's the details. Day 0 - Sleeping in Airport We took an extra early Transavia flight from Amsterdam Airport 06.05 in the morning. Since we don't have car and count on public transportation, we decided to sleep in Airport, it's my very first time experience sleeping in Airport. Amsterdam Schiphol Airport is quite comfortable to sleep in, in boarding area (it's advisable to check in online so you can enter the boarding area) you can see some recliner near the restaurant area, and also sofa which you can lay down. It was quite quiet in the midnight but after 3ish people start to come and it's getting noisy. But if you're not checked in yet, you can find some quiet place on 2nd floor to sleep, but no recliner whatsoever so you have to ...

Summer Trip (Final Part - Prague I'm in Love)

Prague, the capital and largest city of Czech Republic. It's also the historical capital of Bohemian proper . Situated in the north-west of the country on the Vltava river, the city is home to about 1.3 million people, while its larger urban zone is estimated to have a population of nearly 2 million. The city has a temperate oceanic climate, with warm summers and chilly winters. Not much people know about Prague, that's why they questioned me why I would go to Prague all by myself, well after this post I'm sure you will love Prague as much as I do. Day 16 - Finally Prague After a sleepless night at Milan Airport, and a morning flight to Prague. I finally arrived in Prague, one of my favorite city in Europe.    Oh yeah, you don't have to change the currency (EUR to CZK) at the airport, you can just use the ATM, and take money from there (It's cheaper considering the fee they asked in airport). But since I didn't know it before I get a pretty good rate at Milan...
