Such fun!

A week on the Green Heart of Holland tour with the Jelmar. Room for 20 on board, but only 7 travelling in late May, so nearly personal service from the crew of two. Excellent all round. Surprisingly varied and beautiful countryside, and time to explore the towns and cities too. Dutch kilometres must be shorter than other kilometres, as it’s so flat – you hardly noticed how far you’d travelled, even on the sit-up-and-beg hire bikes. Food just what you wanted – plenty of it and tasty, although nothing too exotic. Cabins and beds perfectly comfortable. The crew spoke Dutch, German and English, and were a great, although unlikely, double-act (a weatherbeaten salty sea-dog as skipper+owner+waiter with a petite cook+deckhand+Number 2).
