Accommodation: Hotel

Meals Included: Dinner
Today we’ll meet in the heart of London, throwing high fives to each other in recognition of the epic decision we all made to kick off the new year in Amsterdam. Let’s do this! Shortly before jumping on our ferry for France, we’ll be taking in the English coastline beauty of the White Cliffs of Dover, that owe their colour to a composition of chalk. Off the ferry we arrive in the port town of Calais - French soil! We travel north via Belgium before reaching ... Amsterdam! Home of good times and cuteness galore. Fun fact: the city has 1539 bridges, 165 canals, and 2500 house boats. Yes, you read that right, and it's all here for you to explore. After dinner, opt to take the A'DAM lookout swing, an incredible observation deck with unrivalled panoramas of the twinkling lights of Amsterdam below. Later, the night is yours to start getting familiar with the scene that will ring in your best night of the year - we're calling it early!

Then, we'll head off to the countryside for a taste of tradition (and cheese.) We’ll visit a local clog and cheesemaker's house to learn how two of the country's most famous symbols are made. Later tonight, we'll have the opportunity to indulge in a traditional Dutch dinner. Followed by treating ourselves to drinks as we cruise through the canals, as we see the city illuminated by night.
