| One
of the highlights of every cruise during tulip time is an excursion to the
Keukenhof Bulb Gardens. This is the largest floral bulb display in
the world. We were told there are over a million and a half bulbs
planted for this less than two month viewing! We were lucky as it
rained and sleeted the week before we got to the Netherlands. The
day we landed in Amsterdam on Sunday, it turned sunny and about 15 degrees
- Celsius, then on Friday, it turned 20 degrees, 70 Fahrenheit, and the
flowers were perfect! Talk about being lucky! |
