Arriving at Holland

After a 10h unpleasant flight with China Eastern Airlines we arrive in Holland - Amsterdam. The flight was really crappy, dog food served, 2 screaming kids most of the way and a really hard landing. The plane was old and didnt have any movies to watch while flying. Can't recommend CEA but it was the cheapest...

My parents friends came picking us up from the Airport, living in their house just outside Der Haag. Lovely house and really quiet. Got a little jetlag because of 6h time difference and woke up as late as 5 in the morning.

First day we went to Gouda to check out how a traditional old town looks like. The oldest buildings here was from around 1400-1500 century. Some walk around here and then to the biggest port in the world, Rotterdam.
There are 10.000 ports for boats to dock and pack their cargo, it's huuuuuge. This town was totally bombed by the germans in the second World war and everything thats visible is pretty much build up after the war. Dutch people were given the chance to surrender to the Germans but they refused, so Germany bomed them and their share of the Second World war lasted for 12 days nad after that everything was a mess....so maybe a wussy surrender would have been a better option. We went to the highest tower in Holland (185m,wow) and while we were there checking out the view someone had broken into our car by smashing the drivers side window. Luckily it was an idiot thief or then he was just blind because he left the navigator in the car and didn't take anything else either. OR then he was interrupted while doing he's evil deed.
