Good morning Ladies and gents.

Yesterday we met our coach down in Rugby services after completing a tour the day before.

Left at 07:30 and headed down to stop 24 via Milton Keynes for the final pick up.
Bit of traffic ment we arrived a little late.

Still got away from interchange at 11:35 and down to Dover.
Sailed through passport control and check in for Irish ferries.
As usual that was late, but we arrived in Calais and away to the overnight hotel, Van der Valk at Brussels Airport 😁 fantastic hotel.

Today we are off to Mohne Dam for a lunch stop and a visit. Then onto our main hotel and too meet up with some great people 😁 (well person and her husband 🤣🤣) joking obviously … We will see you later

This is the Harz mountains and Fairytale Germany tour, Looking forward to this one now 😁

Have a great day wherever you are and doing 😁

11/08/2024

Well ladies and gents , as promised, here are my allocations for the rest of 2024.

We look forward to welcoming you all on the remaining tours for this year…

Drop us a message if you are on any of these tours or would like to book for one of them to join us on one 😁

10/08/2024

So, today we headed off from Anglesey with an empty coach all the way to Lymm services for an 03:30 pick up.
Had a great run down to stop 24 , taxis all on time.
Arrived in stop 24 too meet the other coaches at 10:55am sorted interchange out in quick time, was away to the port by 11:25am.

Passport control was a breeze this afternoon, and even managed to catch an early ferry to Calais. DFDS so that’s always a bonus 🤣

Headed down to our overnight hotel and arrived shortly after 19:35. Now time for a bite to eat and a quick beer before bed and another day of travel down to the wonderful Lake Como and Maggiore 😁

So far so good.

Tomorrow I will be posting my Christmas markets and Christmas tour along with the remaining tours for this year 😜

Enjoy your evening wherever you are 😁

P.S still some important/ exciting news to come soon 🙂

23/07/2024

So, feeling spoilt once again with hôtel Harfenwirt.

After a lovely 3 course meal, I came to my room , and what a room.

This is the reason Austria is my favourite tour. Doesn’t matter where we go in Austria it is lovely.
Hotels , food, views are just perfect 😁

23/07/2024

Well , after an enjoyable early start to the day 07:00 depart, nice 12 hour day.. arrived at hotel Harfenwirt at 19:00.

Now time for a well deserved beer and a nice meal.

23/07/2024

So a quick 45 min lunch break at Wursburg services before head off towards Munich and our hotel in Neiderau.

All sat now relaxing and enjoying “sound of music” film ready for the tour over the next couple of days 😁

23/07/2024

So today we have a day of travel down to Neiderau Austria.
Weather not great however we will make the most of it and keep the coffee shop and bar open the whole time while we travel 😜

23/07/2024

Morning ladies and gents,

Yesterday we had an early start with our first pick up at 03:45am from Warrington, (2 hour away from depot)
We arrived early and passengers waiting there were over the moon to see the coach arrive.

Fantastic run down and all pick ups completed by Keele services.

Interchange went without a problem and was away nice and early (around 11:35).
Down to the port of Dover where I was expecting long delays (first Monday of summer holidays and a week until Paris 2024)
But nothing, sailed through without any major holdups. As travelling with Irish ferries we landed our 14:25 sailing which was delayed by 30 mins or so.

Arrived at the van der valk hotel Brussels airport at 19:45 and dinner time and bed.

So this is the Austrian gems featuring Salzburg tour (7ASMV/1)

One of my favourite tours.

Have a wonderful day.

15/07/2024

Here’s some more photos of our recent trip to Switzerland, Lake Lucern,
A short visit to see the Lion memorial,
Pilatus mountain,
the Eiger at Grindelwald,
And just some general views out the coach windows.

This was a fantastic trip , hotels very nice, staff amazing and weather was just perfect, (except for the last night)

Myself and Huw had an amazing time on this trip, and I think some of the passengers also did 😁😁.

Next tour in a week, Austrian gems featuring Salzburg.

Excited to be going back to Neiderau and our very first stay at Hotel Harfenwirt 😁.

Have a great week where ever you are or doing Ladies and gents

09/07/2024

Here’s some more stunning pictures from today’s trip out. Brienz and Interlarken. Amazing weather yet again, 36 degrees reached in Interlarken today…

Really hard to fault anything on this tour as of yet…

Currently 32 degrees as we travel back to the hotel at 16:30hrs, it’s going to be a warm evening.

Really hope the weather stays like this for tomorrows pre paid optional trip on the SWISS GLACIER EXPRESS railway.

Will do my best to grab some awesome photos of the coach and the train.

08/07/2024

Good afternoon everyone,

Just some photos from the Reichenbach funicular railway too see the wonderful falls.

What a beautiful day for such a fantastic excursion.
Clear views of the Eiger mountain.

Hotel Engel is fast becoming my favourite hotel of all, definitely in the top 5 hotels in Europe (personal preference)

Afternoon in Meiringen to explore the area and a visit to the Sherlock Holmes Museum if people wished too.

Hope the weather is nice where ever you are 😃

08/05/2024

Here’s some photos of the current trip which is a 10 day river cruise along the Rhine and Moselle rivers.

Met the ship in Amsterdam and headed to our overnight hotel.

The next day we had a morning visit to Amsterdam and the coaches headed off to Dusseldorf, to another overnight hotel.

We then had the market in Dusseldorf where we allowed free time around the area, before the coaches headed to Koblenz too meet the coaches at this point and another hotel 🙈

Currently met the ship once again in Traben-Trarbach.

Now waiting for the ship to set sail to Trier while we make our way down to the overnight hotel this afternoon.

This is a very relaxing trip as the passengers are all on the ship 🤣 and most of the time we are driving empty coaches 🤣🫢

28/04/2024

Morning visit today to the amazing cheese and clogs farm in Amstelveen. This place is amazing , the amount of cheese available to buy is incredible. I love it there.

15/04/2024

After a very early start this morning, first pick up at 01:50 in Llandudno Junction station , we had a fantastic run down to stop 24 running almost an hour early at Thurrock.
Was another fantastic interchange at stop 24. Got down too Dover and things went okay ish, wasn’t as smooth threw passport as previous weeks but we still managed too catch the 14:00 DFDS to Dunkirk , however it was delayed by 1 hour 😞

We eventually boarded and set sail to Dunkirk , sat out at sea and arrived at 18:00… off the ship and flat out to our hotel here in Gorinchem Holland, ready for our visit to the tulips and Keukenhof gardens and Amsterdam.

Really looking forward to this tour as a slight change of scenery 😃

After a full engine service and deep clean , thought we better take her for a local run out for the day.

So today she is on the isle of Anglesey pottering around and transferring school children to the swimming baths and later on from Moelfre to Benllach school.

Just a local day out for her before she starts the season back in Europe.
