Delft and Keukenhof

So this is going back to May 12th and 13th...
We (Guus took me) went to Delft on the 12th. Delft is a small town between The Hague and Rotterdam which is famously known for the Delftware or Delft Blue Pottery as seen below


So we walked around the town square where there was a market going on and went into the Old Church where the Dutch Royalty are burried.

The next day we took a trip to Keukenhof, a flower park, which is only open during the springtime when the flowers are in bloom-namely Tulips. Although we came just after many of the tulips had been cut, including the tulip fields, I still don't think I've seen so many flowers in my lifetime. There were colors and varieties of Tulips that I wouldn't have dreamed. There was also the biggest Lilly show in the World going on while we were there. Keuekenhof is also where I saw my first dutch windmill, and would not be the last. Also of note in the pictures are pictures of me with large wooden shoes and at the beggining there is some Delft Blue tile.




You can see my pictures like the one above from Delft & Keukenhof as well as one's Guus took at this link:
