“Happiness is planning a trip to somewhere new with someone you love”

We never plan where we are going on our adventures but we do head towards highlights of each country. April in Amsterdam means tulips. Our first night in Amsterdam was going to be visiting the flower festival night parade. Local people spend weeks designing and making flower, mainly tulip, covered floats. All illuminated as they travel through the streets.

We tried, we did not have weeks, Sainsbury’s did not have too many tulips and Barbara would not allow picking them from the garden. So we hope that the photos of our effort convey the essence of the imagined illuminations. We have rebooked to go next year to see for real. Please note Sixty the bear always travels with us, but was a bit frightened this year hence the mask.
