We start with a local departure and make our way to Belgium and Ostend where we have 3 nights dinner, bed and breakfast accommodation reserved at the Vayamundo Hotel, Mariakerke. This is a popular resort close to Ostend. It is set on the promenade in front of sandy white beaches. All rooms are well appointed with free Wi-Fi, restaurant, lounge, bar. Features include an indoor swimming pool and wellness centre. As a special bonus the hotel includes limited draught beer, house wine and soft drinks during each evening.
During your stay we have included these fascinating excursions:
- Ypres – a visit to this pretty town. It offers a distinct and heartwarming War Memorial to the thousands of British and Commonwealth soldiers who died on the battlefields of WW1
- Our coach will take you to the seaside resort of Ostend. We will depart at around 10.00am and one return transfer only will be made at around 18.00 hours
On the return journey we check out of our hotel and take you to Bruges – the ‘Venice of the North’. Explore the beautiful churches as you walk along the picturesque canals. Afterwards there is some free time for bargain shopping at Adinkerke. This is renowned for its selection of low price beer, wine and cigarette warehouses. Please remember all items must be for personal consumption and Customs and Excise suggested limits must be adhered to. Return home later on.
