Each year Debs & I go to Ostende for the Christmas Market and were wondering if anyone would be up for making it a group social event.
It is a good way to start to enter into the holiday spirit with the market square frozen for ice-skating and surrouded by stalls selling mulled wine and snapps.
We are going on Saturday 7th December and stopping at one of the town center hotels on a B&B basis. Saturday night will be spent sampling Ostend's varied nightlife. In the morning after breakfast and paracetomol there is an ideal opportunity for stocking up with seasonal fags and booze before catching the chunnel back Sunday afternoon.
The hotels do tend to book up quick for this event so need to get moving on this. Price will be about £80-90 per head based on four persons sharing a car (yes I know!!!) and two double/twin rooms.
If enough are interested I might look into a minibus but we shall see how the numbers pan out.

Only 2 weeks to go and we can't wait. Was thinking about visiting somewhere on the route through from Calais to Ostend. Maybe the Menin Gate at Ypres. Anyone got any preferences or advice? See you all soon |

Boo Hoo can't come. My parsimonius student type financial situation puts a crimp on things, but more importantly I have 2 exams and a dodgy speeding hearing on 11th, 12th 13th. Oh busy me.
