Flower Parade 2026: Bicycling Sheep
One of the events during Spring is the annual flower parade in the ‘bulbflowerbelt’ the Duin- en Bollenstreek. The parade has a history, it started in 1947, and is one of the biggest in The Netherlands. It is a main event for tourists. And a big presentation of bulbflower producing in this area. The Netherlands is well known for its flower production, all over the world. It is closely knit to the history and culture in this area of The Netherlands.
The LAPC #394 of this week is ‘history through the lens’. I am not sure if this fits the brief of John

No arguments from me, Chris… As you note, the event is annual, and has been so for many years. That’s a historic celebration. It’s older than this guy, and I flew a friend’s Piper Cub occasionally that was built the same year the parade began. That’s historic in my book.

We have two days in Amsterdam, one full day will include the Viking Cruise Line walking tour, and I have it on my calendar to order tickets for the Anne Frank House as soon as I can order them online. Do you have any suggestions of places we MUST see on the day we board the ship? We don’t have to board until later in the day.

What date do you come to Amsterdam. Anne Frank is a good pick. Do you enjoy museums? Van Gogh, Rijksmuseum are interesting (the latter for Rembrandt). Let me know when you arrive

We’ll be arriving in mid-July. We are a party of four, and one has difficulty walking. Can we carry this conversation on through Facebook Messenger?
