Anna Paulowna, Niederlande
The following day we went over the dam of the IJsselmeer to Anna Paulowna. The place is said to be one of the best spots for tulip blooms in North Holland and afterwards we knew why.
You can't imagine the splendor more beautiful.
Particularly noteworthy is the "Poldertuin", a huge garden full of tulips and other plants.
