Welcome to Keukenhof, the largest flower garden in the world* (*not confirmed fact)
We had a dagje uit (little day trip) to the east of the Netherlands, involving lots of traffic jams but finally reached the grand gardens with an average visitor's age of 70. I notice a lot of public sculptures are sometimes subtly titillating, this one got straight to the point, I appreciate that.
The park was so large, see us consulting the map? Douwe and I are planning to travel in Portugal in September with a car and a map. This is practising. We are definitely NOT a navigational unit yet, but there is hope.
Note old lady (in background) in traditional clothing, not Douwe posing like a flower
That's Renee in the other shoe, we know what it's really like to stand in one another's shoes (roll eyes) as she's also Australian, married with Dutch Martijn.
Afterwards we relazed (new word) at Zandfoort: being very cool at a beach bar. Douwe finds it too boring to be cool all day, it involves a lot of sitting and sleeping. I can. Finally we can wear one layer (+ underwear) and let the tepid breeze brush over skin- I love spring!Yet more pictures of flowers:
