Its officially spring. And it has been very hot, unusual to have temperature reaching 29 deg C. Again like all other months recently, this has been the hottest April ever on record.Flowers are really blooming. Holland's countryside is at its most colourful with tulips laid like giant carpets. The best way to appreciate this is to go to Keukenhof between The Hague and Amsterdam. With 64 acres, it is the world's largest flower garden and has been held for 50 years. Keukenhof is open from the last week of March to mid-May accomodating 700,000 visitors. We spent 3-hours there and that was enough.
The idea for the flower garden was mooted to have a flower exhibit where growers could show off their hybrids which will help Netherlands as it is the world's largest exporter of flowers.
