        Bruges is definitely worth a visit before it gets too crowded in Summer, it is a small pretty town and easy to walk around, Ghent is also an interesting town too.

                  Are you driving? From Kuekenof gardens it would only take about 30 minutes to Amsterdam Lelylaan station (where you could park) and a ten minute train ride to Amsterdam Centraal. Then it is a brisk 15 minute walk to the Bloemenmarkt. Tram no.1 takes you back to Lelylaan in the evening.

                          Wow Joolz! What beautiful flowers! I bet you wanted to bring them all home? Out of all those lovely colours I like the white tulip with the feathery edges best. :biggrin:

                            being Holland, it does have a feeling of tridimensional live mail order catalogue ...but the tulips are stunning.
