Keukenhof Tulip Gardens

After a slight comedy of errors, we finally made it to Keukenhof, the home of Netherland's tulips. It is only the second day the tulip gardens have been open this season and we were a bit worried that not too many flowers would be out. However, spring has been kind to us - saw heaps of beautiful tulips, crocuses, daffodils, a magnificent display of orchids and lots lots more. We had a wonderful walk around the park which has some stunning public art, beautiful lakes and canals all designed around displaying the flowers to their best effect. We did our first lot of souvenir shopping with Delft stuff top of my list. While the weather was slightly cooler than yesterday, we had a reasonably sunny day and good walking weather.
