BIM in Europe - Keukenhof - Tulips!
When you think about Holland, you will think about tulips. But do you know that it's actually imported from the middle east, more specifically, Turkey or back in those days, the Ottomon Empire in the 16th century. Well, we decided to check out Keukenhof, world second largest flower garden.
7 million bulbs are planted annually, what mind boggling stats |
Walking through the tulips... |
In the mid-17th century, tulips were so popular that they created the first economic bubble, known as "Tulip Mania" (tulipomania). |

BIM in Europe - The Netherlands - Marken, Volendum & Zaanse Schans
Question: How do you cross the English Channel?
Answer: Ferry trip! Stena Line from Harwich to Hook of Holland to be precise. It's pretty good considering that we can sleep on the cruise for the night and arrive in Holland the next day. Maybe the motion rocks me to sleep. :)

It's more like a cruise than a ferry. We then follow a tour from Tours and Tickets to Marken, Volendum & Zaanse Schans. First stop - Marken. It's literally like an island surrounded by water and used to flood regularly till dikes were constructed. |
Marken - a picturesque little fisherman village |

BIM in Europe - London part 2
Continued...
We woke up earlier the next day and ventured around once again...
Big Ben - I was asleep once again! It's hard being a bub... |
Trafalgar Square - finally it is more than a piece of monopoly piece =) |
In reality, Trafalgar square was built with an initial budget of £11,000 in the early 19th century after the Battle of Trafalgar. £240 is a BARGAIN. Probably in the millions now. |

BIM in Europe - London
Hi everyone,
We were in Europe! It was quite a long trip to Europe from Mandurah @Malaysia Airlines and very taxing on mummy and daddy (probably another separate post by itself) but we managed to get there, albeit very tired. But we were happy to see Uncle T & Auntie D once again.

Happy mother's day
This morning mummy brought me to visit a community nurse and had some discussion with her. I was weighed, not surprisingly my weight remains static. After that I had the opportunity to do some handprints on a certificate and on a mother's day card. Yeah!
This is the certificate that I've made.
