This is where I am going tomorrow. Today it was Brugge! I have beautiful video footage of Saint Savior Cathedral. Tomorrow we are going to Keukenhof in Holland. The Dutch Crown Prince Willem Alexander officially opened the 59th edition of the world famous international flower exhibition!!! There are more that 24,000 tulips and muscari flowers planted. Keukenhof is a historic park covering an area of thirty-two hectares, full of tulips, hyacinths, daffodils and all the other spring bulbs. The floral displays in the park and the unique flower shows in the various pavilions are a glorious visual feast.
