Keukenhof Tulip flowers festival at Keukenhof Holland - Europe 2013

An Experience to relish for years ...



Departure from oberhausen (Germany) to Kaukenhof (Holland) at 8.30 AM , even though i was sleepy i was excited , it was like recollecting school days excursion from Bangalore to Mysore ... 



 The German wind mill standing high 


At the German- Holland borders these trees looking like they are marking a line between Holland and Germany. 


Entry in to Holland ... one can enter no stamping on passport !  


 My bus , not a single person spoke German 95% were old German ladies all friends together enjoying the day out beautifully dressed even these days teenage girls will not dressup like them ..
The lady sitting next to me , as we were nearing she touched her make up , perfect matching lipstick to her coat , i dared enough to ask her age and guess she was 86 years old .



Heehhehhhe my Indo -German combination Indian ethinic dress with German shoes ...


The phone number of the bus driver , was given to all of us if any chance we get lost and could not make up back to the bus in the evening we should call him , but he can speak only German not english anyways had my number on hand so that if i get lost i can call him , but it was not necessary i kept track of the way with my camera and came back with photos rewind ...


Tulip fields along the way , a bioscope of colors  


Terrible traffic jam , each vehical moved with a snail pace inch by inch and it took 1 hr 20 mins just to cross a distance of less than 500 meters all roads leading to the venue .


Small stream along the road side and beautiful duck swimming and looking at the moving buses with surprise 


Bicycle one of me and one for my partner , this lady says this when she i taking it with her .



Small roadside outlets welcoming the vistors to buy tulib buds and saplings , welcome with Holland cloaks

 Welcome to Keukenhof...

Musical clock , loved the indian old couple standing and taking pic , aunty was so particular that her dupata is rightly placed and it come properly with her bag in the photo , she adjusted it for minutes and uncle as usual angry on her and asking her to hurry up , was a beautiful conversation to hear in allahabadi hindi ,here it is : Uncle - are budhe hogaye ho abto bas karo , Aunti -are chupraho ham yehan dubara thode ayege ka !

Small little chippie looks like a smiley down the line ..

This is not saffron flower but it is of same species , this one is called crocus record
