Not all bad here.... beautiful springtime (between the rain) in Amsterdam. The Rhododendron Valley is found in the Amstel Park, near the Amstel on the site of the 1960 (I think) Floriade.

The 'valley' was full of, mainly elderly, people enjoying the sight and the smells of the rhododendrons and azeleas.

Fred tells a nice story about whne he was young and was in the mood for swearing, his father would encourage him ot say rho - don - den - de - ron. And he still does, to this day.
