Cabin fever


5 day trip - Market Garden - near enough sorted. End of March, first night in Brussels via Ypres & Waterloo, Second day Joes Bridge to Nijmegen, third day Arnhem, fourth day in the sin city of Amsterdam, fifth day back to Blighty. Digs sorted in Brussels & two nights in Elst, last night staying at brothers place in Amsterdam.
Eurotunnel at no cost both ways as ever courtesy of tesco vouchers! Don't fancy Stena line from the Hook to Harwich as its 6 hours on a boat and I'm not the best sailing the high seas unless its reasonably calm, and in March maybe not!!!
Interestingly, Stena Line also do the tesco vouchers deal.
Theme of the trip is to follow the 1944 route of the Allies from the Belgian border to the Bridge too Far at Arnhem, and visit associated landmarks, memorials, areas of interest on the way.
