Keukenhof Gardens

One of the main reasons we included Amsterdam in our schedule was to go and see the Keukenhof Gardens, which are only open 2 months in a year. Well we couldn't have asked for a better destination to end our holiday than Keukenhof.

The Keukenhof Gardens are the best we've ever seen. Its a treat to the eye to see the well manicured gardens, beautifully landscaped with ponds and lovely arrangements of tulips & flowers in every shape, size & colour. Any view is a riot of colours and every flower arrangement is bounnd to leave you stunned and is guaranteed to leave your digital camera screaming for more space.

There are myraid varities of flowers with combinations that will make you wonder at the marvels of nature. You'll find the same flower in multiple colours & different petal designs. Since we took a pre-booked bus to the gardens, we got to spend only about 4 hours which are woefully inadequate. You need atleast a day to cover the gardens. Snehal also got to enjoy fresh strawberries & cream which she wanted to eat at Wimbledon.

With a heavy heart we rushed back to the bus happy to have enjoyed every moment at the garden & sad that we couldn't spend more time.

We caught up on some shopping for rest of the evening and decided to have dinner at the Hostel since we had to finish our packing before our flight early next morning.

So this is it. Tomorrow we head for the airport back to India. This is the longest holiday either of us has ever done and without doubt has been the best. Its hard to imagine a holiday that will be better than this one.
