Coach

Reclining seats, video, drinks machine and loo - luxury!

Hotel

 The hotel we staid in (the Hotel Duin en Dal) was very nice, with a pool table, air hockey and electronic darts on location, and the beach, a shopping area, and a swimming pool were very close. There was also a McDonalds about 300m away (for those who felt homesick and could not live without American fast food).
