Ostend Carnival and Dead Rat Ball |
 |
| Ostend Carnival and Dead Rat Ball - Itinerary |
Day 1 |
Local departure by coach then
travel to Belgium for three nights |
Day 2 Bruges (included) |
With its
meandering, cobbled lanes lined with
medieval almhouses, beautiful squares
dominated by guild houses and churches,
and pretty humpbacked bridges crossing
the charming canals, Bruges is regarded as
one of Europe’s finest, preserved medieval
cities. We later travel to Ostend, where
the Carnival begins this evening with
‘Cimateire Night’, a costumed parade
through the town. B |
Day 3 Ostend and Dead Rat Ball
(included) |
Enjoy leisure time in Ostend,
widely known as the ‘Queen of Belgian
resorts’. Stroll along the promenade and
explore the shops, cafés and restaurants.
We return to our hotel to get ready for
the Dead Rat Ball (Bal Rat Mort), held
every year at the casino in Ostend. Some
2,500 visitors enjoy a themed party
evening which was originally created by
James Ensor over 100 years ago and
inspired by Parisian cabaret during a trip to
Montmartre in 1896. Dress is either black
tie evening-wear or fancy dress (the theme
for 2009 was ‘Arabian Nights’). B |
Day 4 |
A leisurely morning after the
previous evening’s celebrations. Return to
Calais, then home. B |
Included Meals: B=Breakfast |
| Your Hotel |
You will stay for three nights at the
3-star Hotel Olympia in Bruges, or the
4-star Holiday Inn Ghent Expo in
Ghent. Both hotels have a bar and all
bedrooms have T.V. and telephone.
Due to demand, other hotels in the
local area may be used. |

well as extra legroom and a spacious rear lounge, Silver
