Hi all Iām writing from the Netherlands here to see theĀ http://www.keukenhof.nl/Ā displays, amazing gardens! Ā I wasnāt sure about the internet access but the hotel Iām currently in has free wifi, a few new birds for the year as well as a Bat (not sure what type) and 2 hares have shown up while out on the bus and when managing to do some walking, ankle tendonās popped out a few times sadly.
Bird list from Netherlands mostly from Keukenhof:
- Blackbird
- Chaffinch
- Coot*
- Dunnock
- Egyptian Goose*
- Great Tit
- Grey Herron
- House Sparrow
- Jackdaw
- Lapwing*
- Mallard Duck
- Mute Swan
- Starling
- Swallow*
*new for the year 
Thanks to having internet access I also managed to update the Saver Scene Australia finance pages:Ā www.saverscene.com.au/finance/Ā (now closed as I move into gardening as a profession) for best savings, credit cards and bank accounts. Ā I love having free wifi, itās amazing just how many places in Holland have it, although I try not to be in front of my computer while travelling itās helpful for a few things like listing birds and updating money saving websites and forums! Ā I hope to have time to update the UK one on Monday as i have to take time off my feet due to the torn ankle tendons. Ā Iāll process some pictures when back in Edinburgh to show the beauty of the Dutch gardens!
