Visiting the Garden Paradise of Keukenhof in the Netherlands

If you love plants and flowers, this is the perfect time to visit Keukenhof. This place is like heaven to me and it is indeed a paradise. Since I love flowers and gardening, in which I can also say, I am a gardener myself, that visit we had in Keukenhof was really a great experience for me. Simply awesome!

It was an adventure we had in in Netherlands that time. My  very courageous good friend drove from Bavaria, Germany to the different destinations there. Oh well, it was not really a direct  driving because we also had a stop-over in Cologne for sightseeing. After that, we proceeded to our friend in Bochum to have an overnight. The next day,  we drove to Keukenhof  but had a short stop-over in Xanten, Germany to tank the car.  We also visited Amsterdam and   Solingen that time. Thanks to my lovely travel buddies who were with me in that trip. It was a lot of fun, indeed!

I was speechless seeing lots or I would say millions of flowers especially tulips, hyacinhts, narcissus and other spring flowers  in Keukenhof. Finally, that dream of visiting this “Garden Paradise” did came true. If I have the chance to visit it again, I will surely do! Enjoy the photographs I took during my last visit in spring 2013 with friends.
