Day 63: The Tulip Mania in Kuekenhof

Good evening.

Have you heard that Dutch people are crazy about tulips ... wait to see these photos and then I'll askyou again :))

From the beginning of April till mid May you can enjoy the beautiful tulip gardens in Kuekenhof. This is the biggest flower garden in Europe. Together with two very close friends I spent whole Saturday in walking there, taking hundreds of photos(discovered the magic of shooting in macro mode), laying under the sun and eating strawberries with cream.

Dutch people are really experts in arranging flowers. They have great traditions in it. Read about the Tulip Mania in the 17th century. The garden is splendid. You can even find there the face of "Pippi Longstocking" represented by tulips.
