In January our SENLAC team was finally on the road again. Amsterdam - metropolis and small town at the same time - is characterized by tolerance, openness and different lifestyles. Continuous rain and storm could not affect our good mood and curiosity. Huge ponchos kept us dry - only our feet got wet. The Venice of the North with its canals and bridges impressed us.
Tip: Please do not make a canal trip in the rain, because the windows steam up and you see as good as nothing.
The variety of restaurants is a paradise for gourmets. Our personal highlight was the small Japanese RAMEN restaurant near the main train station. Our waiting time was rewarded with a hot fantastic soup for everyone.
There is a free ferry from the main station to the NDSM shipyard. There we swung over the dizzying edge of the building on the high-rise roof of the A'DAM LOOKOUT, despite our fear of heights. We rewarded ourselves in the café with hot drinks and enjoyed the fantastic view over Amsterdam.
The Anne Frank House is a small museum in memory of the Frank family, who were persecuted during the Nazi era. Fortunately, we had reserved tickets because the demand is much higher than we thought. It is an oppressive place, the visit made us think.
Conclusion: We will visit Amsterdam again, but this time with our families and children. It is worth a trip at any time of the year.

Donations from you and our partners, volunteer work and a little SENLAC magic and you have a WE HELP school trip. The first tour of our donation campaign took place successfully. Year 8 of the St. Angela Gymnasium went to the Thuringian Forest for 3 nights.
The programme included: a climbing course, discovering Erfurt, a nature day in the Hainich National Park with a visit to the treetop trail and the Wartburg in Eisenach. The absolute highlight for the students, however, was the disco in the hostel, supported by a DJ from Antenne Thüringen!
We would like to thank all donors once again, especially our partners (Hoppe Reiseverkehr and the Youth Hostel Tambach-Dietharz). We hope that the next trips will also take place with your help, so that we can give the students from the flooded region special moments.

We also feel like getting started again! Our website has been relaunched with new destinations, a login for teachers and an extra parents' area. This will keep parents and students informed and we hope to give our teachers the best possible support in preparing their school trips.
The Senlac highlight this summer will be an adult round trip Scotland - from the Edinburgh Military Tattoo to the far north to the Orkney Islands.
Our first groups of students are already back home from their school trips. And now we are looking forward to seeing you!
If you are interested in the Scotland trip, please write an email to: vivien@senlactours.com.
Once again we visited Barcelona, our favourite Spanish city, combining work with fun travel and experiences. We are Gaudi fans and have been following the construction progress of the Sagrada Familia for 20 years - breathtakingly beautiful. Our special highlight on this trip: breakfast at MAURI on Rambla Catalunya with artful petit fours and the best hot chocolate in Catalonia. I (unfortunately) couldn't resist the temptations. The "sugar-free" colleagues preferred crispy baguette with Jamón Ibérico.
We are also happy to help small groups book Barcelona. The best time to visit is early season, it's early spring and there's no crowding at the sights yet. Barcelona and its many tapas bars or a city break to London, Berlin, Lisbon and Rome always hold surprises for the curious.
Kind regards,
Angelika & Team
We celebrate our Freedom Day! Although the weather was not quite as good, this did not dampen the enthusiasm of all participants.
Finally, our work is bearing fruit again and we can do what we enjoy most: organizing unforgettable trips and giving all our groups a nice time out. Soon our first school trips will be ready to start - we are really looking forward to it.
Then it's: Let's go to England!
Valentine's Day is not only the day of love, but also of charity. That's why we want to help people today who are worse off than we are. We have travelled to the Eifel several times and visited schools that are still affected by the flood disaster.
Please support us and sponsor a class, a class trip, a pupil. Every donation, big or small, also has a high symbolic value and is a sign of hope for those affected and for all of us.
Alle Spenden gehen direkt an die Schulen:
We have already told you about our fundraising campaign" WE HELP". I am the youngest member of the SENLAC team and the donation campaign is particularly close to my heart. I grew up in Bad Münstereifel and graduated from St. Angela Gymnasium, one of the many schools that were severely damaged by the flood disaster.
My time at St. Angela's Grammar School had a great impact on me. Therefore my request: Help to give the students happy moments. The water has drained away - but the reconstruction will still take years, because classes are still being held in containers.
We ask for money for individual pupils or classes. Deposits go directly into the school's account.
Please help my old school, every gesture counts.
