A Coach Holiday to Ostend December 2008

Monday 1st Dec 2008 we were up at the crack of dawn for our 5 day Turkey & Tinsel coach holiday to Ostend. The taxi picked us up 5.50am and took us to the services to pick up the main coach for the trip. We had a good run down to Dover and a very smooth crossing to Calais. Then on another hour and half we were in our Hotel the Admiral in the centre of Ostend and just around the corner from the beach.

Tuesday after breakfast we had a full day trip to Bruges
