Keukenhof- Netherlands/Holland

I hope some day to meet God, because I want to thank him for the flowers.  ~Robert Brault

We had visited Keukenhof during the Tulip festival and think we have never visited something more prettier. The colors were amazing and is a must see place for everyone at least once in a lifetime.

Where we stayed? We stayed at a Mercure joint  in the Hague and took the bus from the Hague Central station. The location is perfect and the bus ride is all inclusive of the entry to Keukenhof. It takes about 30 minutes from The Hague. These tickets can be purchased online or at the Hague central station. There are similar buses from Amsterdam central but Hague is more closer. If you are visiting exclusively the Tulip festival then staying at the Hague is more convenient.

What we did? We spent the entire day at the Keukenhof garden and visited the flower garden.
In the little time we had at Hague in the evening. We visited the International court of justice. Shopped in the busy market streets and called it a day. Clothes shopping is really good in Amsterdam and the Hague.

What we missed? Renting a bike and circumventing the Tulip fields. One of our friends did it and somehow we missed doing it. I would really like to go back sometime and catch up for this lovely biking trail.

No. That is not any country's flag.


Tulips all the way.
