coffee pastry and the way we went on our double decker bus.
upper front row seat
perfect
We crossed a few fields of flowers as the end of blooming was on for some flowers but it was very pretty
arrival
As soon as we entered the site it was magical
the tulips welcomed us with all their bright colors
how can one doesnt stop to admire every single of them
from bright orange, the King's color, to pale touch of pink beige we did not stop smiling until our return to the city
it was so feeric peaceful and above all better than what I expected.
The sun was there the birds were singing I definetely revommand you come here and make sure flowers are blooming at the same time.
Your return to the city will be shocking old grey and people rushing on their back pushing you and not stopping to excuse them selves.
Yes its a pretty place but....
it lacks why we all come here for beautiful basket of flowers hanging here and there to brighten this city.
Beside the orange color of cheese ....
you wont see much color here.
Over all a beautiful moment
to check on your bucket list
memorable.
We got back in the city around 2 ish
took the C train in front of the train station
to the very deceiving flower market
Junk
beside
humongous bulbs for European to plant in their garden
not for us visitors from America
price is outrageous
took an espresso
and I went to check out this huge Primark store and made my way back to the hotel along the canal.
I jumped back on the C train and because of the rain I
arrived at the train station and ordered a huge burger
while watching the rain fall
expansive everywhere.
I walked back some more
again
all the way down to the hotel
windy rain on and off
We were just lucky to see the gardens on a sunny day!
ReAlly!
So this being said I had a lovely time in Amsterdam and at Keukonhof garden with my friends.
if you lile biking bring your friend in this time of the year to Holland.
Cheers
A wonderful lucky day it was sunny during all the time we visited Shortly after we arrived in the city it started to rain.
Im glad I saw this feeric garden.
