NEW BLOGS

Visiting the daffodil fields at FAM Flower Farm was the only activity that I booked in 2020 for 2021. When I booked in December 2020 it seemed pretty logical that we would be able to visit in March 2021, but that wasn’t the case at all. Last year this event was canceled because of COVID and this year it again was unclear if we would be able to go because of the virus. Luckily, we received an email from FAM Flower Farm a few days before our scheduled visit that we were welcome to visit the daffodil fields with some minor changes to the schedule!

One amazing thing about living in the Netherlands is that it is really easy to visit the tulip fields in Lisse. Lisse is the town where the Keukenhof is located; the Keukenhof is botanical garden which mainly focuses on landscaping with tulips. In 2019 I visited the tulip fields of Lisse as I was super curious for the multi-colored fields. I cannot believe I hadn’t done this before and it is my must do recommendation for the upcoming holidays as it can also easily be enjoyed during COVID. In this blogpost I combined information and pictures of my several visits to this beautiful region.

On April 9 2021 I was able to visit the gardens of the Keukenhof, when it reopened for a test event after nearly two years of closure. The Dutch government appointed some events, theme parks and theaters to open to a small number of people to test whether they could be opened safely during the COVID-19 pandemic. My sister was super quick to get us tickets for the first day the Keukenhof was open and we had an amazing day with no crowds. If you have the opportunity to visit the Keukenhof by means of a test event, you should absolutely go, because it is a true delight to get to enjoy the Keukenhof with this little people. In my blogpost I will explain what we had to do to visit the Keukenhof and I will show you an impression of our day amongst the beautiful tulips!
