5-7 Amsterdam to Keukenhof (Sue)
The day began bright (well not really) and early to take Deisel Derrick back to his home. He was a good and faithful pal for the last 5 days and took good care of us. Betty & I walked home from the Hertz rental place through Vondell Park, amazed at all the people on bikes going to work and school. A stop at the corner bakery seemed appropriate, so of course we had croissants, cappiciano and coffee for breakfast. The adventure of the day was a trip to the wold famous Keunkenhof. So what is Keukenhof? It is a tulip park that has more than seven million flowers and is amazingly beautiful. We spent 3 hours strolling among the beautiful flower beds, climbing the windmill and taking pictures. (Betty will be posting pictures that will better describe this amazing place). It was a wonderful day, however, our legs and feet were getting tired. We returned to the Dixon house, cooked dinner for the family, and gathered around the kitchen table for a few beers and great conversation. Last day - tomorrow - what will it bring?
