Keukenhof

And spring came also to Europe! Keukenhof is one of the most enchanting places I have ever been to. As usual, I don't excel at describing amazing things as they leave me literally speachless. But let's try anyway. The park is a carnaval of colours, where the sweet smells of flowers  mix and the head starts to spin. There are, of course, tulips of every colour and combination of colours. Short, long, closed, open. Beautiful. As there are all sorts of flowers, at Keukenhof there are also all sorts of people. Tourists and locals, children and grannies. All posing for one and a thousand photos. What completes the picture of this little paradise is the sensation that all is cool. Typical of the Dutch life-style is to enjoy the moment in total relaxation, preferably  having a glass of cool beer while sitting in the sun. Terrassen is the unofficial verb much used to refer to it. No sunny day is wasted (perfectly understandable in a country used to rain). A lovely day it was! And as the pope would say: BEDANKT  NEDERLAND VOOR DE BLOEMEN! :)
