Keukenhof
Flowers & art at Keukenhof Gardens Our third and last day with Syliva, it was fun to take her to a place she had never been in all her years of Amsterdam - the Keukenhof Flower gardens which we were told were the largest flower gardens in the world. Sylvia had never been simply because its such a touristy thing to do, plus its only open very few weeks of the year so we were lucky to catch it on our trip. It turned out to be such a beautiful way to spend the day and not too touristy - much less crowded and great to wind down after Queens Day.
The afternoon saw Craig go and play golf at Noordwijkse golf course while Sylvia and Kellie sat in a cafe on the beach and sipped Ice Teas and relaxed. Once craig finished he joined us for a drink while we watched the sun go down into the ocean (about 9pm) - we were about to order dinner when we were told that the kitchen had just closed (we had been there for 6 hours and no one asked us if we would like to order food!) - so we had to find a new

Sylvia and Kellie had been talking about food earlier in the day and had mentioned Ribs, so when Ribs were on the menu they couldnt resist. Out came the biggest set of ribs Kellie had ever seen. Of course, she devoured the lot (which she regreted the next day and a bit - bloaty tummy pain!) but it was such a fantastic and lovely end to our Holland visit.
That evening, after a long day, we decided to drive to Belgium, so Craig drove through the night and we slept in a truck stop in a servo near the boarder (its free, so thats always a bonus - but a bit noisy this time).
