Amsterdam: I AMSTERDAM card (Canal boat ride and Rijkmuseum)

The moment we confirmed the Amsterdam trip, the next task was to look for places to visit. 

Since it will be a family trip, it has to be a wholesome trip. Honest to goodness. Any other 'diversion' will have to wait until the next trip.

From Madam's Point of View

I bet by now, most of readers would be expecting Part V, VI etc etc.. but, hah! I tell you.. 

We put those monotonous postings aside.

This one will be a great one.. Promise you I will. And why it is a great one? Because from the quality and mood of the pictures taken, I'd say Madam had her 'moments' during the London visit. 

Throwback: Out and About - Part III - Museums (London, Dec 2014)

I love museums. Be it art, history, science etc. Since I like museums so much, we visited a few. Too few to my liking. But the really bad news was, I think I lost a lot of pictures due to low battery and carelessness to name a few. I always mistook taking pictures on the GoPro camera when it was not taking any (no viewfinder and LCD screen). I really need to invest on that and learn to connect my Lenovo phone to the Macbook.

Victoria and Albert Museum

First museum we visited was the Victoria and Albert Museum. Around London, these pair of names cropped up many times. Queen Victoria, I think, was one of the greatest and longest reign too, except for King Bhumibol of Thailand and her great-great grand daughter, Queen Elizabeth the II (the current Queen). Although her marriage to Prince Albert was cut short due to his death (died at the age of 42), which she mourned for the rest of her life, it also meant the beginning of various projects dedicated to her dear Albert. Hence, everywhere you would see buildings and monuments with their name or at least one of the two in London.
