Travelling // Capturing flowers in The Miracle Garden, Amsterdam

I prefer to avoid Amsterdam. It is way too crowded and too touristy. However after seeing the Instagram posts of The Miracle Garden I changed my mind.

Fatiha follows Elspeth Diederix, the initiator of The Miracle Garden on Instagram. Happily she asked me to join her to visit this amazing flower garden in the Erasmuspark (Amsterdam West). Last Friday we went there by public transport. I had a great time. Erasmuspark was not crowded or touristy at all.

After capturing all the beautiful flowers, we wandered around the park and stopped at Terrasmus to enjoy a great freshly brewed coffee and a delicious home-made coconut lime cake.
