Amsterdam - Pass It On

This was the place I was looking forward too the mostest in Europe, Keukenhof!

Having been there, I would say that this place definitely deserves its title as the garden of Europe. I was there in end March, which was not the best time to be there (because not everything has bloomed) but I was still pretty much in awe in the 4-5 hours of being there. There was still beauty at every turn. I really wonder how it would be like now or in a couple of weeks when everything is blooming.

When I went back, I shared this place with a room mate from Hong Kong and showed her the photos. She kept saying 'OMG OMG OMG' 'This is good, really really good'. A part of me tried to hide my laughter at her response, because she hadn't even been there. Someday if I have the chance for a Euro tour in spring, I would come back to this place, because it is really beautiful.

Couldn't enter the tulip fields, and this was the closest I could get.

A gardener was throwing away a tulip right in front of me, and I gasped quite loudly hahaha. After which, he gave me the tulip when I asked for it.

A maze

Having had a taste of spring in its fullness - flowers blooming, birds singing, I really had to agree with the lyrics of 'Pass It On'

What a wonderous time is spring,
When all the tress are budding
The birds begin to sing, the flowers start their blooming;
That's how it is with God's love,
Once you've experienced it.
You want to sing, it's fresh like spring,
You want to pass it on. 

I really liked running around this place on my own, though it was quite troublesome to keep having people help me to take photos of me. Many of them were really nice, and some put in a lot of effort to help me get good shots I almost laughed when they kept moving around. But I guess the greatest bummer of going alone was that it would have been really really wonderful to have shared memories of this place with a good companion.

Ending off the day with really good Thai food. It even puts to shame many of the Thai restaurants in Singapore! It's called Waree's Thai Food, and it's along Jordan, where I had stayed.
