Holland

Yippee! We're off to Holland this year (late Aug) Going to Port Zelande, a centre parks resort. Just wondered if anyone had been and how was it? Been to Holland before so we're taking the bikes with us and visiting Amsterdam. Any other places I should go to please? The kids are now 12 and will be 15 by Aug 05. Any top tips on travel sickness avoidance would be apprieciated too. Was rough as old boots last time we crossed.:eek:

    we thoroughly enjoyed it there - all very clean and queue free (unlike Disney). Not sure what you mean by crumby!?

    it was well past its best when we were there. Perhaps they painted it up. But we thought Disney was the BEST ever place, loved it loved it loved it.

    It all looked ok to us. We also like Disney a lot - but not the queues that go with it. Efteling was more a themed theme park, with good rides in a quiet park. We, and the 8 & 13 year olds had a great time

    When we went they put stickers on the car, do you think as I still have the car (and sticker) I'll get a reduced price (moneysaving eh?). I'll look at the website and see how far it is for us.
