Itinerary

Our family joins forces today in London filled with an invigorating mix of Christmas cheer and eagerness to explore Amsterdam. A festive ride across countries and into Amsterdam - that's not the most usual Christmas Eve experience, but by Santa it's a good one!   Shortly before we find our ferry for France, we'll be taking in the English coastline beauty of the White Cliffs of Dover. They owe their gorgeousness to their composition of chalk - you're in awe and we haven't even left the UK!

Off the ferry we arrive in the port town of Calais - French soil! We travel north via Belgium before reaching ... Amsterdam! Cross off another country off your list as you cruise through Belgium on your way to Amsterdam. Fun fact: the city has 1539 bridges, 165 canals, and 2500 house boats. Yes, you read that right, and it's all here for you to explore.

On arrival it's dinner are on us, then get out and make the most of the spirited streets all lit up and Christmas-y with a walking tour around pretty canals. (D) Stay: Via Hostel Amsterdam (or similar)

Wakey wakey…time to wish your wolf pack a very Gelukkig Kerstfeest (that's Merry Christmas in Dutch! ) Off to the countryside for a taste of tradition (and cheese.) We'll visit a local clog and cheesemaker's house to learn how two of the country's most famous symbols are made. This Christmas, you'll enjoy a delicious Christmas feast with a uniquely Dutch twist! Afterwards, you're free to take a walk and let your food digest.

Later, there's an optional canal cruise where we'll explore the city, all lit up at night, while indulging in unlimited drinks. One to remember? You bet. (B/L)

The city will still be buzzing with all things Xmas. Stroll Dam Square, visit the Van Gogh Museum & eat Dutch pastries galore; the opportunities in Amsterdam are infinite & the day is yours to explore (and recover from yesterday's indulgences). Grabbing a bike is essential to do it like the locals, as well as taking in a few stroopwaffles and pomme frites to keep hunger at bay. (B)

That's a wrap on Christmas in Amsterdam folks! Time to head back to the big smoke & get prepared for a new year of travel ventures.  There's something pretty special about sharing the festive season together. Take your last group hug and promise to reunite in the not too distant future. (B)
