Brochures for our Holland and Belgium Bike and Barge trip (April 24 to May 2, 2009) were mailed late, so our tour operator, Cross Culture Journeys, has extended its early booking discount to Oct. 31, 2008. We invite you on this spring trip that offers a balance of action and leisure, a close-up experience of the Flemish countryside in spring, and the camaraderie of biking and small-ship cruising. Board the intimate, 24-passenger barge Merlijn in Amsterdam for a journey through the waterways of Holland and Belgium. Cycle about 25 miles each day on a seven-speed hybrid bike through the region's gentle landscape, accompanied by an experienced cy
cling guide. Then rejoin the ship for a three-course dinner and a relaxing evening.Your route takes you into several cities rich in artistic and architectural heritage: canal-laced Amsterdam, dynamic Antwerp, the university town of Ghent and beautiful medieval Bruges. The Merlijn will spend a night in each of these cities, allowing time for evening walks and morning tours. If you'd like a different balance of biking and leisure, feel free to spend the day on the barge as you watch the passing landscape from the sundeck. Since you'll be in Holland during tulip season, consider the option of starting with two days in Amsterdam on your own. You could see the famed Keukenhof Gardens and have time for some of Amsterdam's outstanding museums and restaurants.
