  1. A quick visit to the Cherry Blossom (Hanami) festival at the World Museum in #Leiden.

    The outdoor market was smaller but also remarkably less crowded than the other #JapaneseMarket that is held at the #Rapenburg in July. A very nice atmosphere topped off with a brief visit to the #Hortus with its #ChineseGarden and #JapaneseGarden

  2. Visited these beautiful gardens today. A memorial to the Chinese Gold miners that were in Ross and about the area, during the 1860s.
    On the banks of what's now a lake formed by the slucing process used to mine for gold.
    This article tells of harassment by one local that caused some problems in the formation of the garden.
    The garden is a tribute also to the locals that persevered with its making.
