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
Some of the photos in Bruges
The horse and traps were quite spectacular
Winter Wonderland and the Ice Rink and all the little Christmas market stalls in Bruges
Wednesday 3rd Dec a trip into Sluis in Holland and back to Blankenburge in Belgium
Wednesday night we walked around Ostends Winter Wonderland

Thursday 4th Dec no coach trips today we had free time in Ostend so we walked around the shops and Christmas markets and the usual market and a daytime look at the Ice rink again and actually got s pics of some skaters
We found a lovely restaurant and had the local Mussels Cliff getting tucked in
