This is a variation on a theme of Francesca's "Who am I?" thread. The rules are the same, only in this case it would probably be best if we asked one question at a time :).

I'll start:


Its history goes back more than one thousand years.

No, it's not Newschwanstein Castle. Wrong country for that one. (Been there, too. Different spring break though. ;-)

The mystery place is most famous for being a garden and a tourist attraction, though there is a castle also located there. So good going, both of you. Keep googlin'. ;-)

YYYYYYYYYAAAAAYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We have a winner!! ;-D ;-D ;-D

Keukenhof Gardens is the largest tulip and flower garden in the world. They plant some 7,000,000 (that's million, folks ;-) bulbs there, mostly tulips.

My hints: For think Disney: Some of you may know that "wonderful" attraction with the most annoying song on record, It's A Small World?? When they were designing it, they looked at various landmarks around the world for inspiration. One of the places they used was Keukenhof. ;-)

Emily/Leddie has the website for them, or you could just go to Wikipedia, for more info. ;-)

So CONGRATULATIONS LEDDIE!!!! You got the one that stumped everyone else!! ;-D ;-D ;-D

Now, where shall we go next?? ;-)

It has a castle.

Yes, we were really stumped :) I actually did see the Tulip Garden when I googled though, but would NEVER have thought of guessing it...

And, I like "It's a Small World"....mainly because it was one of the first songs I learned to play on the keyboard, without ever going to a class...that reminds me...

European castle?

So, it's gone from cities to gardens to castles; it's fun, though.

A fairytale castle? Though I don't really know that those have names...gotta be European then :) I think...?

The castle is not European nor fairy-tale.

Jun-2-2013 00:52

Is it a classic castle? With turrets and a gate, and maybe a moat to spare? :) Is it a real castle? If so, is it in one of the Americas or Asia or Australia...?

Does it have a royal family residing within it, or has it been converted into a tourist hub of some sort?

The castle is a real castle however not in the disney-way you're thinking of.

(Travelling Europe, I've realised that most castles just look like big houses or mansions.)

It does have turrents but no moat nor gate they way you are thinking.

It's never house royalty and yes, it is a tourist hub.

*No moat or gate
*Not royal
*Has turrents
*Is a tourist hub
*Not in Americas, Asia or Australia.
