This travelogue of Holland in springtime, goes to the below sea-level fishing-village of Volendam, then the capital city of Amsterdam, the center of the global diamond trade. Then we turn our sights on the cultivation of flowering spring bulbs; no other country is as renowned for bulb cultivation as Holland. These bulbs are most specifically tulips and hyacinths and when in bloom, they provide a magnificent flush of color to the farming landscape.
