Hi harpic :cool:
Everyone is usually very friendly and it doesn't take long for people to get to know each other. You seem a very sociable person so I'm sure you'll be fine.
Each year I usually go on a long-haul holiday with my wife and then we do our own thing for short breaks. Sometimes I'll fly off somewhere with a mate for a lads weekend, but as I'm a fan of European coach trips I usually try and go on at least one coach trip a year. I know coach trips aren't everyone's thing but I think they're terrific for short breaks in Europe. I've met some really interesting people and had some great fun on them.
I've been on coach trips with both Travelsphere (JY's sister company) and JY. I tend to stick to France, Belgium, Holland and Germany, although I am thinking of a trip to Luxembourg. On one trip with JY we started the return journey in Germany, went through Holland, Belgium and then France before getting the ferry back to England. 5 countries in a day - how cool was that!
I'm booked on the JY Walking in the Ahr Valley trip for 10th June. I did a similar trip with JY to this region in June '09 and had a real laugh so hopefully this trip will be as good.
I had a quick look at the holiday you've booked and it certainly looks a good trip. I love having a boat trip if I'm away so that would definitely be one of the excursions I'd choose although I'd probably do them all.....not sure about the aquapark though?
Cheers
