NETHERLANDS WALKING TRIP

It’s been months since my April 2010 Country Walkers walking trip to the Netherlands, and I’ve waited so long to put up photos because I have so many gorgeous ones, I couldn’t make up my mind which to post. Honestly, The Netherlands wasn’t in my top ten list of dream walking destinations. I was so wrong! One of my best trips ever.

Standing under a working windmill (not this one) was a thrill							A canal in lovely Ultrecht

Driving through the tulip fields							The Kuekenhof, the world’s largest flower festival. A once in a lifetime experience.

I took over 100 photos at the Kuekenhof, each one more beautiful than the last							We reached the chilly North Sea after a wonderful walk

My sister and faithful traveling companion in Haarlem							Sheep grazing along a dike. Views like this are why I keep taking these trips.

The famous Kinderdijk Windmills. Despite the rain, one of my favorite walks ever.							One of the Kinderdijk’s 19 historic windmills

A beautiful walk along a river							In the kitchen of one of our guide’s homes. Perfect!

I spotted this example of the modern and ancient by the back door							Warming up with our guides during the Queen’s Day festivities
