Parade van de Bloem

Nothing says spring is here better than tulips in the garden. In Keukenhof, Holland the flowers scream spring ... all 4 million bulbs in blazing harmony.



We joined the "parade" of cars leaving Amsterdam for the country side, a scene much like the parade north on the 400 every long weekend in Ontario. My nervousness in driving a motorhome in Europe was abated somewhat by "lois" ... the nice british voice from the built in GPS ... calmly calling out directions for every turn. For example "Please make a U turn if possible." Words to warm your heart when steering a 24 ft bemoth down cobbled lanes of the old country. Next stop is somewhere in Brittany. I'm banking on the advice of an old timer in Amstersdam who assured us that there are no narrow streets in France.... piece of gateau as they say ... piece of gateau.
