| Today we took a tram, the subway, and a bus to Keukenhof Gardens which is the largest flower garden in Europe |
 |
| Here is an organ with moving characters that played happy circus music. |
 |
| The gardens are meticulously groomed. |
 |
| Tulips galore. |
 |
| Each section of bulb flowers is surrounded by green lawn. |
 |
| They had a wooden shoe boat in a pond near a miniature windmill. |
 |
| This working windmill was moved here from somewhere else. The whisper boats (run by electric motors) were right behind this windmill. |
 |
| The whisper boats take 20 people through the canals between fallow fields and fields of tulips, hyacinth, daffodil and crocus flowers. |
 |
| We saw acre upon acre of flowers. Geese and ducks and coots swam in the canals. |
 |
| We were cold after the boat ride so we went indoors to enjoy a cup of hot chocolate. |
 |
| We got there early before the crowds. |
 |
| By afternoon the place was crowded with people. |
 |
| March 19th through May 10th is the time to visit when flowers are in full bloom. |
 |
| They offered bulbs for sale but spring is not the time to plant tulips so we didn't buy any. Keukenhof Gardens is a great place to visit. |
