FASTEST BULLET TRAIN in the NETHERLANDS (Amsterdam to Rotterdam) 🇳🇱
Good morning everybody we just left the hotel and are going on a Netherlands bullet train from Amsterdam to rotterdam today this is a Everlasting Quest that we have to see if bullet trains go as fast as a bullet we’ve been on two so far neither of them have maybe the Netherlands has what
It takes let’s go beautiful Netherlands in the morning feel like we should get some food though no yeah oh sorry got to watch those Dutch bikers there we go opening from the de opening from the [Music] could we have two more falafel wrap he knows us we’ve been here twice in the past
Week yes two falafel thank you thank you very much Cheers Cheers it’s Kebab it’s cheap it’s so good it has vegetables full of falafel they’re everywhere we literally eat other than food tour days this every day pretty much than you yeah amazing thank you so
Much to get to the Amsterdam Central Station we have to ride the Metro so now we’re just waiting for it all right it’s stopped over there do you want to get the camera oh we got to go metro metro train check out these awesome murals too straight in
The train station now we have to go to the ticket service office to print our tickets we have about 20 minutes until are train so we should be okay I hope will we get through this line before update why thinks you found an alternative way to get
Our tickets printed it’s all in Dutch so I have to use Google Translate like but it leaves in 10 minutes so I’m trying to hurriedly there we go is it working yep what’s printing did I
Click it too many times uh I might have clicked it like five times uh oh Amsterdam central 24 years old Wyatt Brugge okay we’re good let’s go and in case we lose our copies we have three more okay 12 11 Thalys it’s going to Brussels but it’s stopping in
Rotterdam so let’s go which which platform was it 15a 15a classic what’s new we’re running we’re fine I love bullet trains shape they’re always like triangular for the aerodynamics how sick is that we made it to coach on time killing it we are I love bullet trains because unlike airports you don’t have
To go through security you just go straight on and it’s awesome really fast comfortable it’s going to be a great time Thalys that’s the uh fastest trade in the Netherlands I’m pretty sure honestly I really didn’t think we were going to make it really yes but we did yeah
This train is great it has USB ports for your phone they also have like Outlets if you don’t have like a USB cord and they have trays a lot of leg room a lot of storage space a trash can which looks pretty
Gross just saying it’s like full of brown dried liquid oh here we go we’re rolling here we go it’s got a little coat holder too they also have super cool cup holders time to do a bathroom tour all right so just like every bathroom there’s a toilet
Sink trash can they have two mirrors a coat rack a light they also have a awesome flusher that looks like a spaceship flusher if I ever saw one I feel like it would look like that there’s a fan the sink is automatic and it definitely seems like the soap is
More of a pusher type soap definitely enjoying it and it’s also clean very clean how was the bathroom really nice since we were in Amsterdam which is a city for the last 3 days it’s nice to change it up and see kind of like a Netherlands Countryside feel haven’t seen
That before yet they say like even a tiny hill here you can see basically the whole country I just looked it up bullets travel at 1,800 mph we’re 83 we’ll see we’ll see okay so the GPS totally stopped working but we looked it up
And the Thalys train maxes out I don’t know if you can see it at 186 Miles an hour made it well that was quick yeah literally so fast it felt like only like 10 minutes yeah
It was like I think a total of 60 or 57 mil and it took us 40 minutes with a stop of like 7 10 minutes bye awesome looking Dutch bullet train bye shall we find our hotel yeah I really love escalators
Hello so we’re staying in a capsule hotel for The Grand Tour here we are lights there under lights which I love these accent lights have extra blue lighting wow this is like a wonderful bed it’s like a spaceship in here yeah feel like we’re one
Small step How does it go one small step for man one giant leap for mankind yeah exactly I don’t know if you guys really understood when I said that we eat falafel for like every meal we seriously eat falafel for every meal we are not kidding now we’re going to walk
To the most famous landmark in rdale while we eat some kebab let’s do it mhm it is interesting I feel like if Amsterdam were an equivalent New York this would be Chicago super modern lots of Sky Rises Modern Art and stuff we stumbled upon the markthal which is a pretty famous spot
Here these are sweet okay so these are the Rotterdam Cube houses they are like the biggest landmark here in Rotterdam and they’re all built on 45° tilt so it’s like a die that’s spinning you know and it’s just stopped there frozen um they only custom furniture built cuz
The angles are all super weird like you don’t have straight up and down walls you know how do these like work I don’t get it is it like an optical illusion or something I really hope the camera does this justice cause the lines are honestly kind of weird even in person like
It’s hard to understand what’s going on yeah it’s very much like trippy yeah it’s like an illusion exactly like you said just look at those like creases and how they all have to meet there perfectly they did a they did it really well yeah architectural genius oh yep
Another day just heading to work we live here we live here all righty y’all that’s it two kebabs one bullet train ride little bit of a Rotterdam tour successful vlog I agree let us know what you think if you like this sort of crazy fun format yeah and subscribe for more

Faster trains in Indonesia are 350km/H
Fun fact: Dutch is part of the Germanic language which has two sub-divisions (West and North). West Germanic consists of English, German, and Dutch and North Germanic consists of Swedish, Danish, and Norwegian.
Standing on a small hill you'll see whole of the Netherlands, with 18 million small spics of people. That's what you call a view !😅
What do you think of this video? Any advice or ideas to make it better? 🤔🥰
We’re really trying to improve and would love to hear your feedback! ❤️
This is actually a French train. It cannot go fast in the Netherlands as the special track has not been laid. Not worth it is such a small country….
Just found out that their is a muesum for the Cube Houses, plus hostel.
FUN FACT -> Thalys isnt dutch. its FRench train..
And from a GB company called eurostar..
I work @ Rotterdam Centrale station.. we dont like the internatiole trains lol
You went to Rotterdam and didn't try Kapsalon? I think you will have a pleasant surprise…Fallafel is nice as well…let me know!
Fun fact, there is a hotel/hostel in the Rotterdam cube houses. This is also the cheapest place to sleep in Rotterdam. Standard price of 30 euros per night in a dorm room!
You might have missed it but Rotterdam is a city that was bombed to the ground in WW2, so almost every building you see is made after that with 2 exceptions, the two oldest football stadiums in the netherlands where spared. The oldest being from 1916!
Ok, this must have been the most expensive way to get from Amsterdam to Rotterdam 😂
Greetings from New Orleans! You both speak at the perfect level, easy to understand. Learning a lot from you both.
Yesss you visit a real Dutch city haha
