Amsterdam - Day 2

Our first selfie!
We toured a bulb farm and the Keukenhof Gardens today. The weather was sunny and around 57 degrees. A bus trip through the countryside took us on narrow roads with many bicycles. It's amazing the number of bikes and they are not modern but old fashioned "Mary Poppins" types that they seem to use instead of cars.
Holland exports millions of bulbs and flowers every day - about 70% of the worlds supply. The soil is sandy and wet and perfect for "bulb" type flowers. The Keukenhof Gardens is a huge park with flowers everywhere. It was a lovely day and a relaxing walk.
We finished off the day at an Irish Pub for fish and chips!
You know how I love shoes!
