One of the reasons we wanted to visit Holland in the spring was to see the tulips! From Amsterdam, there is an easy day trip to Keukenhof garden. We made it just in time, as the gardens closed two days after we were there. Getting there was pretty seamless, and we got to see the outskirts of Amsterdam along the way. We biked to the main train station, took a train to the airport, then took a "tulip" bus to Keukenhof. There we joined the happy throngs of other tulip admirers and got our fill of these beauties. While the tulip fields on the outskirts of Keukenhof were done blooming, the garden itself was still in full fantastic bloom. We soaked it up, with eyes and cameras.

| A photographer's dream! |

| No tulips here; just amaryllis and Erica, in one of the indoor display spaces. |
There were a few other things to look at, like a classic Dutch windmill...
... and a petting zoo.
And yet more tulips...
