Got Seeds? We do!

Hello world, reporting back from the chocolate group!

Today we began our first full day in Leiden, Netherlands. After a very early 7:00 am start and a quick breakfast, we hopped on the bus for a 27km ride to the Flora Holland Flower Auction Aalsmeer. Because Holland is the most densely populated European country, beating traffic can be a little rough; however, today luck was on our side, and our bus driver Hugo managed to get us to the auction in a short 40 minutes.
