A veritable feast was presented to us for breakfast this morning with sliced meats cheeses breads of different kinds and boiled eggs croissants and fruit along with coffee and tea supplied by Milo our host.
Once again we were on the train,this time to Keukenhof the famous flower garden. We arrived at Leiden station after quite a long trip and spent almost an hour waiting for a bus to the gardens only to discover that we were at the rear of the station, the blame for this was quickly attributed to the correct person and no more correspondence will be entered into.
The Keukenhof gardens are magnificent with tulips of all kinds and colours the paths wander around and lead you to pavilions that house displays of Lillies ,orchids cyclamens just to name a few. The cameras were clicking away at a furious pace with fun to be had while setting up and taking group photos using the delay feature on the camera and then having to run and join the others before the camera took the pic.
All though the season for tulips is nearly at the end and the surrounding fields have mainly been deheaded there still remained some pockets of colour here and there with cricket pitches of yellow or red among a sea of green.
We returned to the apartment via a supermarket and shopped for some provisions that we h ad for dinner after which Crackers and the Hen retired to pack and get some sleep before their trip to Manchester tomorrow.
