Tulips

Woke up at 7am today and seem to be over jet lag. Went out for breakfast at Rene's croissantier which was great. We had a strawberry and custard tart along with a pana chocolate to share costing a total of 8.50 euro. A great breakfast and a big improvement on yesterday. Also at Rene's we bought another custard thing, an apple turnover and a baguette to eat throughout the day. 

From here we walked to the train station  searching for a supermarket on the way.  After not finding a super market we had to double back to  get to one and buy ham and cheese to go with our baguette. 

On the way bini had a knee issue which slowed us down a bit thoughout the day. (Good now though don't worry beena) 

After visiting the supermarket we got on a train to the airport to then catch a bus to keunhof the place where all the tulips were. 

Once at the airport we got into the line for the bus and then 30 seconds later the lone literally doubled. We were fairly happy  with our luck :P. We arrived at keunhof at 12 ish and began our walk around the tulips and other flowers. 

It was really cool the highlights being some great fountains, awesome looking tulips inside a green house and a automated organ machine thing. We also had some profiteroles as recommended by Kate and finished off the Anzac biscuits lovingly made for me by aunty dale. (They've been amazing dale and are the only reason I survived that plane trip)

Bini highlight was the maze which she won, a victory which she lorded over me for the next ten minutes until we were looking over the fields of tulips which we had seen from many angles thoughtout the day and then she says this "hey Alastair look the green things in the feild are tulips, I thought it was grass". So yes a good day. In her defence it was 4 on the afternoon near the end of a long day of walking and looking at flowers. 

It started raining just after the maze and we decided to call it a day. All in all a really nice day. For dinner we went out to an Italian place which the youth hostel gave discounts for and bought a pizza to share and a banana split for dessert. Both were amazing and the whole dinner only cost  around 20 euro total. Another good sleep in our private room and ready for our Anne frank tour tomorrow.
