Provisional Itinerary for Zandvoort/Amsterdam & Ring trip 2012


Tuesday 31st July Hull/Rotterdam Party boat crossing at 9.00pm.

Wednesday 1st August dock at Rotterdam then straight to Amsterdam for day then hotel stay in Zandvoort. (Southern lads could travel from Dover that day)

Thursday 2nd August Zandvoort trackday with Bookatrack then night/stay in Amsterdam.

Friday 3rd August Amsterdam chill day perhaps viewing the unusual architecture or simply straight to Red Light district... (optional)

Saturday 4th August Travel to Ring/Dorint then supper in Pistonclause.

Sunday 5th August Touristday 8:00 - 19.00 Stay at Dorint.

Monday 6th August Touristday 1.00 - 19.30 Stay at Dorint.

Tuesday 7th August travel back to either Dover or Rotterdam on Party boat.

______________________________________________________________

Wednesday 8th August - Monday 13th crash on sofa watching SKY with all necessary supplies & accroutrements stationed nearby!!!

This is just a provisional Itinerary we could to save costs n jibb off the 3 trackdays if necessary...

All sounds plausable.... not sure jibbing off the trackdays is cost effective so prob worth keeping them in, even if its just to give us some respite from looking at all the sights in the Dam....

Other alternative is:
July 27 - Nurburgring GP
July 30 - Spa
July 31- Spa
Aug 2 - Zandvoort


see ya there

Yeah, I think your right Sumo respite just about sums it up we'll keep em on...

I like what Rob's proposed but to be honest I'm a bit Spa'd out plus the fayre is crap apart from Michelin Man Restaurant side of Radisson, caution a bag of chips is a tenner .

We are at Spa for 2 days for the October Extravaganza Mega trip.

Just got in from toiling, done nowt but visualise all day hittin' the Party boat throw case in one of the 4 Hugh Hefner Suites then into Langan's for steak n chasers then sampling the Bars, Travolta Discotech n Casino, Langam's outstanding brekky in morning then Convoy to Dam.

That opening sequence to open a trip is near perfection. If ye come day before we'll go to Mustapha's in Hull then that would be perfection... could just smash in a Fillet Steak Stroggonof with all accroutrements, I'm out of Chocolate fingers!!!

Count me in for that barrage of fine dining and track day action, up for trying the GP circuit and sand pit or whatever it's called too.

It is depressing being home after that trip, already checking party boat prices etc for later in the year.

Nice one, very welcome to come along plus Rob said plenty of high class Waffe machinery to feed on at Sandpitvoort

Trips I used to do since 05 were at least a week long with sometimes 5 days at the Ring including a bit of chill out time which this incorporates a bit plus we used to always have a Gran Finale in Dam on way back just capped it off perfectly only this time it's opening up the innings.

Last time I was in Dam after a trip was 2 years ago in June 10 sat outside an outstanding swish cafe bar boiler watching.
Then next table Leonardo Dicaprio sat down next to us he was promoting his latest film Inception.
The waitress came over was obviously starstruck,
I was partially bewildered as I've never been in a film......

We tend to get one of the 4 Hugh Hefner suites on the ship, not always up on line sometimes pays to ring up, they come with priority parking so straight off vessel, 2 comfy single beds, Tele, albeit a 14 inch Pye, complementary mini bar, large shower room & a bowl of fruit which I assume they can only be for decorative purposes perhaps!!!

Year before there were 2 large bottles of chilled Champagne in ice buckets in our suite it was obvious they were placed in the wrong Hefner suite so we necked em straight off out the bottle then miandered to Langan's for customary steaks...

Now that it seems some of us have missed the October trip due to the trackdays being fully booked, I might do the above except not the Nurburgring GP but the 'ring on the Sat 28 eve and Sun 29 all day...
