So much to see

Another Great Picnic Spot

Gerbera Daisy

Garden Entrance

One of the many gardens at Keukenhof. This one with a lovely wisteria portal.

Pansies

Inside flowers

If you get tired of looking at flowers outside, Keukenhof several large pavillions with over 500 different varieties of flowers.

And if you don't see a flower or color you like, we will paint you one

Where have all the flowers gone....

About the middle of April, this field and as far as you can see was tulips in bloom.

Leiden

Barge Cafe

Pedestrian Bridge

Just one of the many bridges in this beautiful little town.

Ice Cream Boat

This boat goes around to the other boats cruising around the many waterways of Leiden selling ice cream.

North Sea Windsurfer

Yep, that is what it is.

Saw it lying on the street in Leiden and had to take a picture.
