• Be at Victoria Coach Station no later than 21.15! This is your own responsibility, we’re not counting heads. It’s a normal Megabus service, which will not wait for you.

• Bring your passport or ID and your brightest smiles!

• In case of emergency, Douwe and Mattho will be available on their Dutch phones in the NL: +31623755007 and +31633972653 respectively. Save them in your phones!

What to do?

Amsterdam is full of amazing things. A short overview by

category.

THEATRE Given the recent Nutford musical trips, ANNE is hugely recommended. Staged in a Theater Amsterdam, built exclusively for this show! With English subs/audio. See for all shows on offer: amsterdamsuitburo.nl

SIGHTS Begijnhof and Magere Brug. Google them. Great places for selfie frenzy. Magere Brug included in Sunday’s Landmark walk, Begijnhof probably not.

SHOPPING Skip the Kalverstraat (Oxford St equivalent) and go straight to the ’Nine Streets’. Beautiful area streched out over the canals with cute little boutiques and stuff.

Final note It’s been a pleasure organising this trip so far. Let’s keep it that way. When in Amsterdam, you’ll have to take full responsibility of yourselves. We just have two ’appointments’ together:

• Museum groups have to enter together

• Saturday 7pm dinner

As to the bus return, same policy: be on time, we won’t wait. That’s all the nagging we had to do. ENJOY YOUR TRIP!
