Once you get off the freeways ,the quaint villages along the way can be enjoyed! In the village of Lisse, NI, you will find Keukenhof Gardens; a veritable Garden of Eden. It is just emerging as spring tries to warm up.
Only open two months of the year, what originally started as a competition between tulip growers has become a renown vista of incredible beauty…it just feeds the soul. We drove with the top down in the car, speakers blaring, seat warmers on!
Only about 30% was in bloom, but you could see the potential. There is a huge greenhouse display that had everything in bloom, There were also various competitions going on in several halls showing orchids, mums, amaryllis and many others.
We walked for miles,but never tired looking at all the beauty!

I just looked at your photos of the flowers ~ gorgeous!! I hope their fragrance is matching up to their beauty!!
Ditto on what Nikki said! Does it make you want to open a flower shop when you get back…..:-)
I love Amsterdam, never been to the gardens though, they do look good. Not to keen on your new shoes Debbie, although now you don’t have any luggage issues they might be worth keeping, however,I think they are just a tad restricting especially difficult I imagine to drive in.
they look a bit blocky to me!
My gosh. The flowers are breath taking–what a site! I’m just getting caught up on your trip since I have been house sitting and Rob brought your check in for deposit. I will enjoy your travels.
