I took this photo exactly on this day two years ago in the tulip fields by the famous park Keukenhof near Leiden. Apart from its second anniversary, I decided to post this photo today also because of the coming King’s day, the biggest national celebration in the Netherlands (up until several years ago it was Queen’s day and the date was 4 days later). The photo seems a good way to congratulate all Dutch people as it bears so many classic Dutch signs – the tulips, the Dutch flag, and unfortunately the (almost) omnipresent dark clouds. Of course it’s missing the usual canals and bikes, but I promise you lots of them in one of my future posts from my visit to Utrecht and Amsterdam several weeks ago. In the meantime, happy King’s day to everyone celebrating and hope you enjoy the Dutch hip-hop song!

Amazing! However the 327th tulip in the 18th row has a tiny blemish I thought!

Breathless, for the shear madness of thousands of beautiful tulips. It’s like a pretty pieces of cake. My husband and I are investigating a Canal tour that takes only 80. The room doors slide open to the water and Keukenhof Gardens is the primary reason to go. Would you say April would be best?
