ProHolland Motor vacations                                                                           Newsletter August 2010

Dear Friends,

 In the last newsletter (June 2010) we wrote:

The weather people forecast a heat wave and……. it is hot right now!. Steaming hot, in our protective leather suits.  

Yes, two months ago the weather was splendid. Right now we have rain. Lots of it. We even visited the ProHolland office. Not just for meeting the girls and a cup of coffee but also to get rid of ‘the swimming pool’ under the house. This week it was the first time we really needed rain suits. Not a bad result for the 2010 season. But even with rain we have had a very nice week. We hope the last trip, starting September 4th 2010 the last days of the summer will be sunny again.  

   

Special wishes.  

Sail Amsterdam 2010. All the big sail boats from all over the world visited Amsterdam (from August 19th  up to 23tr ). We visited Sail being something extra to our already special trip. Beautiful weather. Good food. Nice beer. The bikes stayed at the hotel and the ProHolland bus picked us up after midnight. Great service and best of all: this extra day was for free!. ProHolland paid the night in the hotel and the next day the real tour started: the 10 day tour through the Netherlands .  

Next year we will do our utmost best to extend the extras. We want to create more diversity into our tours. Maybe even with a theme tours. But most of all we want to satisfy our customers and for fill their wishes. So: please tell us what you want.

You see one of our strongholds is flexibility. And we are proud of it.  

 

Short stays.

Being an important remark we repeat this part of the June 2010 newsletter:  

We receive more and more questions about short-stay-vacations in the Netherlands . 10 days seems to be a lot in such a small country. *1 Some people have less days to spend than others. So we came up with the next solution:  

Just join the normal tour and leave more early. You won’t see the entire country but doing the Netherlands in 4 days simply isn’t possible in our opinion. It is only possible doing 10-12 hours a day driving your motorbike. Or doing a lot of ‘highway time’.  

Again, we want to do it good. And be aware: the winding, curved, small roads in our country will demand lots of your driving skills. It won’t be free-wheeling towards a waiting glass of cold beer at the end of the day. It will be tons of fun, laughter, pleasure, happiness and good times.  

Back to the short vacations: we can arrange a 10 day full service guided trip through the Netherlands for only  € 1354,-* divide this by 10 and multiply it with the number of days you would like to stay in the Netherlands and you have the total amount for your personal ‘Netherlands experience’.  

4 days: (€ 1354/10) * 4  =  € 541,60 more simple isn’t possible!  

p.s. 1. Of course it is possible to drive by yourself, visit other places. Just ask and we will offer our help and knowledge.   

p.s. 2. If you want to start at another date to do a short stay in the Netherlands : just e-mail!   

Last “promotion work”.

Last newsletter (June 2010) mentioned something about Croix. Curious? Look at our photo gallery to know all about it. www.proholland.com/index.php?pid=6

Next September 24th 2010 we will be in Zolder ( Belgium ) to do our last promotion work. Again a combination between promotion work and driving a race bike.  Look for our black race bike. It runs again after big engine problems: broke valve spring, a cracked cylinder head and a broken water pump. Arjan, our mechanic, did a good job (next to repairing the road bikes) so we are able to have fun again in between promotion works. Those days are though…….

 

Soccer

Hmmm. We (the Netherlands ) lost the final. So we decided to do something diffident:  we like to make world news so Laura Dekker went of all alone the sail around the world. Nothing special you think? It is: having the age of 14! Want to know more: take a look at http://www.lauradekker.nl/English/About_Laura.html

*1   you already know: we don’t agree

We hope the last days of this summer will bring you lots of fun, happiness, laughter but most of all: sunshine. Lots of it!
