A day at the tulip festival

We were at the Tesselaar Tulip Festival yesterday with YL and family. It was located in Silvan, which was about 38km away from where we stay but the drive only took 50-55 min which wasn't too bad. The festival is held every year between Sept and October spring time and there's live musical entertainment and stalls selling food and souvenirs. It started drizzling when we started our drive there and was pretty chilly when we reached and only got sunny when we were leaving! 

There we were greeted by the alpacas (they bear similarities to sheeps and are used for their fur too) at the entrance.

One of the alpacas softly moo-ing away (they sound like cows??). They are really a tame lot.

We had to drag Hannah away as she was so fascinated with the alpaca and busy imitating its moo sound

And then the main attraction, the tulips. There were rows and rows of them, purple, pink, blue, yellow, literally in every available colour. I've never seen so many flowers before and they were truly a sight to behold! We enjoyed the slow walk, though chilly along the flower beds and posed for a few shots every now and then=)

Dozens of them tulips

One of my favourites!

'Feeling' the petal

Hannah with friend Kyle at lunch

Kyle: Will you be my girlfriend Hannah?

Hannah: Papa says I shouldn't be dating at this age

=P

We headed home after lunch and Hannah fell asleep in the car immediately, guess she was really tired from all the walking. We should go again next year, darling=)!
