Canal cruise and Keukenhof gardens

Was up half the night hoping to see Aurora, but no dice. Weare at 52 degrees north, so I thought we would have a shot. Centaine, who lives in Hamburg at the same latitude, sent some amazing photos.
We got up earlish and took the tour to the canals.
Wow, just Wow. It is an amazing lot of diverse windmills 250 years old and lots of nan made islands isolated from the mainland by canals.
One of them had 60 km odf dykes hand dug in the 19 century. 400 residents and a ferry to bring them to the mainland.
Due to the heat, the Tuoips were past best, but the gardens were beautiful .
It is 2.30. we are heading back to Amsterdam now.Back at the hotel now for 4 30.
We both enjoyed our day out
We will have a quiet night in. Maybe get burger and chips later.
Hop on hop off trip tomorrow and another 🚢 🚣‍♀️ canal trip. This one in Amsterdam Centraal.Leia mais
