      Those names definitely sound dutch! And yes! The Jaarsma bakery has sooo many great choices but the S letters are the best? Thank you so much for watching!

    Amazing little town packed with so much history and more importantly, civic pride!! I’ve been to the festival in Holland, Michigan so I enjoyed your tour of Pella.

      Thank you Bob! I do think Holland, Michigan was a much bigger town with much more to see but Pella is incredibly charming with large quantity of tulips to enjoy! Thank you for watching!

    So when is a good time ...I dont want to miss the flowers .. go in the next 2 weeks ok ?

    • @LukeGeeTravels
      @LukeGeeTravels  3 місяці тому +1

      That would be ideal! The festival itself is the weekend or May 2nd. If you want to avoid the huge crowds you can go the week before. Tulips have a very short life - about 2 weeks - but if you go in the next two weeks you should see them in bloom!

    Hi - did you have to pay or pay a ticket to browse around?

    • @LukeGeeTravels
      @LukeGeeTravels  2 місяці тому

      The Historical village behind Vermeer Windmill you mean? Yes - it’s a $20 adult entrance fee. The ticket includes both a guided windmill tour and access to the village
