A big thank you from me and all the girls. For all of them it was their first time away on a trip without parents and they had an amazing time.

No drama and everything went like clockwork.

Coach: An excellent driver. He was able to advise us of times etc. The coach itself was perfect.

Hotel: The beds were fantastic and people are still raving about the showers. Having it just beside the stadium is also very handy. Overall the hotel was excellent.
