Last Wednesday, 1st Oktober 2008 we went to Lilydale to visit the tulip festival. It took around an hour to reach the garden but what we saw there just worth the travel.
Getting there all in front of us was huge area of various tullips. They’re arranged in path lines of various colors from white, pale pink to dark purple. Ridwan and Hanifah were really excited to see the large area of flower. Hanifah was just really happy and really eager to pick up some but we could not do it because they’re not for picking.
In the area there was also a horse cariage for rent and we also had the chance to ride once. We had to lined up for more than fifteen minutes before finally had the chance to ride. Everybody wanted to ride and this made the horses a bit tired. Since we were riding in a family group we got extra discount for the fare. Lucky.
After that, it was time for Hanifah and Ridwan to pick up some tulips in the picking area. They were just excited to have the experience to actually pick up flowers with their own hands and had the opportunity to bring them home. We even still have the flowers in our lounge room at the moment.
Then, lunch time comes and time for picnic. It was just nice to have picnic lunch in the garden, reminding me to my childhood time when I used to bring food for my grandma in the rice field and we had lunch together in a small hut in the rice field. Enjoying lunch in the breeze of wind and the clolorful scenery of tulips, what a wonderful life.
Here are some of photoes taken in this festivals.
