Tulips from Amsterdam

To Amsterdam for our spring jollies. The reason for going was to see the once-every-10 years horticultural show, the Floriade . It wasn't all that we hoped it would be but it was enjoyable enough, just.  Then a day at the tulip bulb fields and the wonderful, magical Keukenhof gardens.  This, for a couple of amateur gardeners, was a perfect way to spend a Sunday morning.  The place is stunning. Get there early before the crowds descend. And after two days of walking, it was time to sit down and have a well deserved drink. I liked Amsterdam a lot and I'd deffo go again.
