After breakfast we start our day in style with a relaxing coach tour to explore the Dutch countryside. Our first stop of the day is at one of the very few cheese farms where the cheese is still made in the traditional way. Of course, the artworks are edible... Next, we continue on to the famous Dutch fishing village of Volendam, before heading to the windmill village of Zaanse Schans, renown for making wooden shoes, or "klompe". Our last and most spectacular stop of the day is at Keukenhof, stopping en route at a beautiful tulip field for once in a lifetime photo oppurtunity. The Netherland's largest flower garden, Keukenhof, where approximately 7 million flower bulbs are planted annually, is an impressive sight and not to be missed!
