Stage 59 takes you to the first part of the trip through mainland Europe. Working your way along the coast to The Netherlands via Belgium, you’ll visit the major cities of Rotterdam and Amsterdam with a stop at one of the world’s major airports – Schiphol, after a look at some of the iconic Dutch windmill scenery. After a look at another of the country’s icons, the Dykes, you’ll continue along the coast via the Frisian Islands into Germany, before embarking on a tour of Denmark. Starting with a lap around the Jutland peninsula which makes up a large portion of the country’s land area, you’ll visit the famous home of LEGO, Billund, before making your way east via Denmark’s chain of large islands to the capital city, Copenhagen, and Scandinavia’s second busiest airport.<\/p>\n
