20-4. MILLIONS OF TULIPS

We drove to the town Lisse to see the blooming tulip fields, and we were soon overwhelmed by the bright colors and the smell of the many blooming bulb-plants. In front of us not only fields of tulips were blooming but also fields of hyacinths, lilies and daffodils. When we had had our lunch on the grass with a glorious view of the colorful fields we drove to the North Sea coast a few miles away. The weather was warm as a summer day and the wide beach was full of happy sun-bathers, even if the water was freezing cold. In the afternoon we returned to Amsterdam and saw the electric car parking spots near Nemo were all full! We parked Green Car next in line and went for a long walk along the canals - and came home to the camp-ground with a big bag of tulip-bulbs.
