We’ll be in Amsterdam on May 5. One of the tours is to the Keukenhof Tulip Festival. They have 7 million tulips! That is a lot. I’m not sure that Kathleen could see this many flowers in one day and still remain conscious.
Kathleen did travel there one time before, and she was too early. All the bulbs were still closed. She was not happy about this.
So the rumor this year is that the weather has been warm early, and it may have rained, which could have knocked off the blooms. Watching Kathleen try to deal with the possibility that she was too early one time and too late this time has not been pleasant for me.
Further, the Princess tour seems to involve an hour bus ride each way, and as little as 2 hours at the Festival. Further there would be the typical large group with some really slow people.
So, I think we will cancel the Princess tour, and plan to book on our own trip so that we could have up to 5 or 6 hours in the gardens and in some other sites nearby. But we still have to figure out whether there will still be flowers or not there. (You cannot figure this out by e-mailing the gardens because, of course, they do not want to say anything that will cut down on the visits.)
We try to figure this out while we still have the 2-day France visit tomorrow with its uncertainties.
