Here we join the Eurotunnel for the crossing to Calais, during which you can stay with our coach in bright, air conditioned carriages, or get out and stretch your legs. On arrival in Calais we continue to our hotel where you can enjoy a relaxing evening. Day 2 Keukenhof Gardens After your included breakfast we set off on a full day excursion visiting Keukenhof Gardens, in the small town of Lisse. This 32 hectare site represents spring in all its glory, with more than seven million tulips, hyacinths, daffodils, orchids, roses, carnations, irises, lilies and many other flowers in full bloom – it is without doubt the best place to see tulips in the Netherlands. Follow the winding pathways through a sea of colour, which surrounds shimmering lakes, mature trees and wonderful works of art – you can even take a 45 minute trip aboard a whisper boat (so-called because of their quiet electric motors) and enjoy a different perspective of the gardens (fee not included). There are also themed pavilions and a hedge maze, along with musical entertainment throughout the day. We return to our hotel after a wonderful day out. Day 3 Floralia After your included breakfast we set off on another full day excursion to visit Floralia, a colourful flower show held in the grounds of Château de Grand-Bigard. Over 1.5 million bulbs have been hand planted by the castles’ gardeners under the ancient trees of the 14 hectare park that surrounds the fortress. Tulips, hyacinths, daffodils and grape hyacinths are among the 400 varieties on show here, along with extremely rare varieties such as the papillon narcissus and some that have not yet been named. In addition there is an exhibition of flowers in the greenhouses, where more than 10,000 flowers from various markets in Europe are brought in. The chapel and the tower are also decked out with wonderful flower arrangements and bulbs can be purchased at the entrance to the castle. Later in the day we return to our hotel for our final nights’ stay.
