On Flickr ( I did a search for Keukenhof 2008). Seems like a pretty good show. We will be there the 21st, the day after our Rhine River Cruise ends.

Thanks SorrentoCruiser. I didn't even think to do that!! i will do that right now.

 

We are going to the Gardens the day before our River Cruise from Amsterdam to Belgium. May the Gods be with all of us and we have decent weather.

Thanks for your reply.

You will find some "early" type of tulips blooming. Some sections of the park have less shade then others, flowers bloom there earlier.

Besides the last few days have been nice and sunny.

Thanks for the update Ine. We are cruising on April 27 and will be at the Gardens on May 3. Hope the timing is good.

In general almost every year (last year was exceptional warm) that is the best time with often the most flowers.

Thanks Ine for the update. Thanks too everyone else for your responses. Benita--have a wonderful time. I think your time at the Gardens will be a little better than ours. Let's hope the weather Gods are with us and we have nice, sunny,warm days.

We leave early tomorrow morning so I am doing last minute things today. I am really excited--it is finally here!!!

I am going to keep a journal so will do a trip report when we return.

Have a great time everyone and thanks for the wonderful information I have gotten on TA.
