Dutch bulbs from above

My friend Caroline was over from England and she really wanted to see the bulbs in bloom. Through some friends, I was able to arrange a flight over the fields of bulbs, with pilot Ferdinand at the helm, and keep it all secret, till the last day. We went, we saw and we loved every minute of it. What a fantastic way of seeing more of Holland and... The Bulbs...(sounds like the title of a horror film.) We even landed on the Island 'Texel' for lunch and both of us were allowed to do a bit of 'piloting'...COOL!
We ended the day by having an evening meal at 'Nogal Wiedus' in Huisduinen, with its fantastic view. My oh my, is this country flat or what???
