Holland – Keukenhof Gardens

Early last month I went to Holland on a short trip with some of my f4 photogs. We started off from Hull, travelling overnight to Rotterdam on the ferry. The first planned stop was the Keukenhof Gardens at Lisse. We’d just missed the enormous display of flowers in the fields, but the show in the gardens was still just amazing. Here are a few images from there before we moved on to our second port of call Zaanse Schans, where we stopped to photograph the windmills and small visitor centre. Some of us took a ferry to get from Keukenhof to Zaanse Schans. I confidently said to Alan, my passenger, “don’t worry, I’ve been here before, there are no ferries, SatNav has made a mistake”. Of course SatNav knew best but you live and learn. Some images from there too. Our next day was a full day spent in Apenheul primate Park, a visit suggested by Tracey, a fellow f4 photog. Photos to follow on the next blog.
