Accommodation is reeserved for 3 nights on a dinner, bed and breakfast basis. All rooms are well appointed and features include restaurant, bar and leisure centre.
On day 2 we visit bustling Amsterdam with its handsome tall gabled buildings, narrow tree-lined streets and tiny bridges interlaced by hundreds and hundreds of canals. There are colourful markets, exciting shops and endless cafes and bars.
On day 3 we take you through the Dutch countryside, past windmills, canals and bulb fields en route to the dazzling Keukenhof Gardens, (admission included). In the centuries old castle park you will see thousands of flowers. There are a whopping 6 million bulbs blooming every year to form a sea of flowers. As well there are water displays, flowering shrubs, floral works of art, themed gardens and pavilions packed with flower arrangements.
