@div1189 Thanks for your comments. The gardens at Keukenhof get extremely busy, especially on the day of the Flower Festival, so get there early just as it opens. It is not possible to take photos like these otherwise. Accommodation in the area gets fully booked and isn't cheap so book early. We stayed at the Ibis at Schipol as a last resort but it does have good transport connections and worked well for Amsterdam also. Enjoy !
