Europe Fall 2013 - The last day! (Day 9)

Beautiful day and my wife's almost recovered! Lot's of sunshine! Also had one of the best breakfast on this trip!  The owner of this small cozy joint is a very nice person, he told us that we might have to wait around 30-45mins and lucky we waited for it!

Gartine is located 5mins walk from Spui stop. There aren't many tables, so waiting it inevitable but very well worth it!
Plate's are very nice, cappucino wasn't that presentable but it tasted perfect :P
We ordered their pancakes, comes with really really good homemade jams, their strawberry chocolate jam is out of this world!
And a big breakfast, comes with french toast to die for! Beside that is the homemade apple jam!
Also sunny side up, bacon and cheese
We seriously recommend that you try this one! One of the restaurants that we actually tipped as we were really satified with the meal!
After the hearty breakfast, we went around looking for a Samsonite luggage bag but with no avail. We heard that its cheaper in Europe but found out otherwise, maybe we didn't look at the correct place...

Today is more of a leisure cum shopping day, free and easy, no hurrying and rushing around. Since our flight is later in the evening, we had time to go around and look for stuff to buy.

Wife bought some local clothing brands and if you are looking for a watch or some accessories, you may try Ace and Dik Juweliers. They have really good service and have a few branches in Amsterdam and is an AD for various mid level luxury brands.

Then you may refer here for VAT refunds when you are at the airport, go early :)

Well, should not have anything else to add since we are going back in a few hours time... so sad...
Frankly... we should have get a few more days leave and stayed on! That will definitely make the 13hour flight more worthwhile! That long haul flight is no joke...

Till our next trip, we hope that our blog can be of some assistance to travellers... I really need to find more time to update this blog :x

Thanks for reading and feel free to drop any comments or queries! If you have any suggestion, we will be more than happy to update them here for the benefit of all :)
