My son Lee and I had a wonderful day in Giethoorn. This is really a place that I would like to be pinned on my map with Pinmapple. I decided to write about our long trip home from Giethoorn
I wrote about our visit to Lelyland last Sunday and my friend Yolandi sent me her photographs of the visit they made in the Spring - so with her permission, I will post her beautiful pictures here.

The bus was a luxury bus with air conditioning and a place to charge our phones, which was fortunate since we had both used up our batteries taking photographs there.
Giethoorn is a mostly car-free village in the northeastern Dutch province of Overijssel. Itβs known for its boat-filled waterways, footpaths, bicycle trails and centuries-old thatched-roof houses. It borders a section of the Weerribben-Wieden National Park, a marshy area once popular for peat and reed harvesting. Next to the park, Museum Giethoorn βt Olde Maat Uus is a farm museum illustrating the regionβs history. β Google

Colours were magnificent
It looked as if the sky was on fire
The trip home seemed much longer than the trip going to Giethoorn - I guess we were tired and hungry - although we had a wonderful lunch there.
We arrived at our starting destination Diemen South where I stayed with my son for half of February and twelve days of May.
This was my last weekend in the Netherlands and I can honestly say that I had a simply marvellous time - so many beautiful memories.β€οΈβ€οΈβ€οΈ
I hope that I get to see the tulips, they look stunning! I'm so glad you enjoyed your holiday in the Netherlands π€
Thank you my friend. I really hope we get to finally meet after being friends on Hive for six years
