Ooooh its May, and some Erasmus lads and I went to see some of the 7 million tulips Holland has to offer in its Spring season.
Keukenhof (the land of flowers) is based slightly north of Rotterdam, near a place called 'Lisse'. It was well worth the euro, and the sky was sunny for our Saturday afternoon talking about petals and gardens like our grandparents would.
Some more Dutch stuff happened in Utrecht, home to Leeds Uni exchanger Becky (hoi!), and her fun internationals house pals. It was Becky's birthday so we went all out and spent ten hours on a boat.
It was a mass hullabaloo of fun, and Ben Skez showed up to join in the congratulations of life which was additionally fantastic and not at all irksome. For Bex' 22nd we made a cracking list of 22 things beginning with 'B' that she had to involve in her day. Words included Brunch, Bubbles, and Breezeblocks (shout out Alt-J/Leeds), most of which were ticked off by the time I departed back to Rotts mid-way through the celebrations.
What the 'Dam! Rotterdame!
To keep up with the Dutch related month, I had a glorious snap with Rotterdamer Erasmus on my bicycle. A while back my Dutch housemate Nadine told me I'd successfully turned into a Rotterdame..
..mission accomplished?
