Trip to the Netherlands - King's Day

We are gathering at 15:00 at Leigh Delamere East  M4 services

with a view to leave at 15:30

Given all the feedback we are taking the ferry to HvH on Thursday evening and so this will be a crossing with a hut and same coming back. So leaving on Thursday 25th April 2024, returning Monday 29th on the overnight ferry again to getting home on Tuesday afternoon 20th April. The price for the crossing is roughly £455 for a 2 people in an inside cabin.

The hotel is selected is : https://all.accor.com/hotel/A3P2/index.en.shtml

Room rates vary but are around £350-£400 for 3 nights, but I am yet to get the quote for the group so it might be less than that.

There is private gated parking at the hotel, which is 12.50 euros p day.

It is about 30 mins from Amsterdam central by public transport (transportation & Metro)

The plan is to have a nice planned route to ride as we come off the ferry on Friday through parts of Holland and we will also plan some trips for the Sunday & Monday after king’s day too. Plan is to visit Amsterdam on King’s day on the Saturday and on the other days visit some nice Dutch places worth seeing like De Zaansche Schans the Cheese Market in Alkmaar and we might ride around the bulb-field area given that it is April and they will be in bloom or arrange a visit to De Keukenhof. Anyway lots to do and explore and yet to plan in more detail, but just wanted to give you a flavour.
