Hmm I wonder if I can organise a third tour...Helen Hollickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04292983846350273039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4623806380645887747.post-66654008130613402722020-01-24T10:01:48.403+00:002020-01-24T10:01:48.403+00:00I've been to northern parts of the Netherlands...I've been to northern parts of the Netherlands many times, but never to Leiden, so it's great to read your description of the city, and to see the photos. Particularly of the Keukenhof Gardens - stunning at tulip time! Only one visit there, many years ago, but your photo tells me I must go again.

Gulliver (of the Travels) attended the medical school there. I know he's fictional but it's a testament to the Medical School's prestige that Swift decided on it for Gulliver's education. Pauline's article makes me want to visit. The photograph of the tulip fields is stunning!Ianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12165872637866881527noreply@blogger.com
