Today I was lucky enough to be taken by my host family to
Keukenhof, the tulip garden of the Netherlands. If you have ever seen a
postcard from Holland it is bound to have a shot with the huge fields with rows
and rows of different colours of tulips from orange to purple. That is just a
part of Keukenhof. Inside the actual garden is a magical exhibit of all kinds
of flowers with all kinds of shapes, sizes and shades and they were all displayed
in well laid out patterns. It was a feast for the eyes!
For those of you who don’t know Dutch, ‘Keuken’ means
kitchen and a ‘hof’ a garden. Hence my title for this post but why it’s called
this only the Pope knows. I can only guess that just as a top chef can make a
meal that people consider art. So can
the arrangements made in this garden. The owners of the garden make meals for
your eyes and they satisfy them completely, making you feel completely stuffed
and eager to return. 
I had fun taking photos with my host family as there are so
many pleasant places in which to take a photo with you in it. I got some really
great shots and even better memories!
