Join Janie Robinson tiptoeing through the tulips in her latest Toronto Sun travel story and posted  in over 45 newspaper site across Canada on Postmedia Network  From Holland, with love! Iconic dutch tulips bloom on both sides of the oceanGorgeous tulips like these are a part of our proud Canadian history.  The Dutch sent 100,000 tulip bulbs to Ottawa in the fall of 1945, in appreciation of Canada's role in liberating Holland and protecting the royal family in the Second World War.  Those Dutch tulips, and the thousands of  bulbs sent every year from the Dutch Royal Family and the people of the Netherlands, are the over one million beautiful blossoms lining the Tulip Route during the Canadian Tulip Festival in Ottawa-Gatineau, on this year from May 8 to 18. 
  • This year's Canadian Tulip Festival marks a special 70th anniversary commemoration of the Liberation and the Tulip Legacy, 1945 - 2015. 
  • Be sure to add Holland's amazing aromatic tulip fields and Keukenhof  Garden to your travel bucket-list!

Springtime in Paris

Great train trip from Aachen to Paris on my Eurail Pass...I love Paris in the spring-time!

Riding the rails in Europe

Looking forward to riding the rails on a Eurail trip this week and will share stories from Paris, Venice, Rome and Barcelona in Cruise & Travel Lifestyles Magazine. 
I've had some amazing adventures on my European train trips. The Glacier Express in Zermatt, Switzerland is a spectacular journey through the Swiss Alps. “Norway in a Nutshell” is an awesome combo of rail, ferry and bus travel through fabled fjord country. I just took my first Eurostar 'chunnel' trip to London too. More train adventures to come this week...can't wait!

Inspired by South West England

Recognize the dramatic cliffs of West Bay?  Fans (like me!) of British crime drama Broadchurch certainly do and so will those who scour these fossil-flecked cliffs along the stunning stretch of South West England's 200-million-year-old Jurassic Coast.  Many of Britain's best-loved artists have found their muse here in Devon and Dorset as well. 
Classic literary works, stunning movie locales, and dramatic television scenery - find out more in Janie Robinson's latest Cruise and Travel Lifestyle magazine story Timeless Reads and Epic Reels.
