The Last Day

A double-episode looking back at the highs and lows of Brendan's longest ever coach trip.

Arrival Day and Day 1 of the trip - Hull

It was all aboard as the tour bus embarked on another adventure, this time from near Leeds. The first port of call was Kingston upon Hull with a spot of maypole dancing, before heading to Hull's spectacular aquarium. At the end of the day the couples voted and with three votes Yasmin and Neelofer received the first yellow card.

Day 2 - Amsterdam

On day two of the trip the group arrived in Amsterdam for the second time in the history of the show. After touring the city's canals by pedalo they learned the exotic art of burlesque dancing. At the vote Brendan introduced the new voting rule: the couple who received a yellow card the previous day was immune from a yellow card the following day, meaning Yasmin & Neelofer could not be voted for, but could still cast a vote themselves. The couples voted for the second time and gave Amanda & Nicki their first yellow card with two votes, which put them in emotional danger.

Day 3 - Rural (Netherlands)

The coach headed for rural Holland on day three for a life drawing class in Vincent van Gogh's house. The trippers' artistic 'talent' left Brendan crying with laughter. At the vote, with Amanda and Nicki being immune from any votes cast against them, it came to a three-way tie between Timo & Val, Glenn & Becca and Yasmin & Neelofer, all with two votes. The other couples had to agree on who to award a yellow card. They chose to give the yellow card, followed by the red card, to Yasmin & Neelofer meaning they were the first couple to be sent home.

Day 4 - Bremen

The tourists headed to Bremen. But on arrival a dramatic emergency call was made after Marg fell ill, resulting in an unexpected early departure from the trip for her and Mo. However, the numbers were soon bolstered by some lively new arrivals. There's a sausage-making lesson and a ride around the town on a conference bike. As it was Nick & Mark's first day they could not be voted for but could cast a vote against other couples. The dreaded yellow card fell to Glenn & Becca with three votes.

Day 5 - Hamburg

In Hamburg, some familiar faces from the previous year, Ray & Glenys, returned to the group. After a visit to a submarine, it was all out conflict between two couples. At vote time as it was Raymond & Glenys' first day of their new tour and as Glenn & Becca received a yellow card the previous day they were both immune from the vote. With four votes, Timo & Val received a yellow card with a vote from every couple except Ray & Glenys and Sam & Charlie. The main reason for receiving so many votes was that they had tried and failed to convince the other couples to vote for fellow couple Amanda & Nicki.

Day 6 - Gothenburg

The tourists woke on the night ferry as it arrived in Gothenburg. Brendan whisked the party off to the city's famous fish market, where rotten fish was on the menu. At the vote, with Timo & Val immune from any votes, Glenys & Ray received their first yellow card with a vote from all but one of the other couples.

Day 7 - Jönköping

The coach arrives in Jönköping, Sweden, where Brendan's plans for a synchronised swimming lesson were dashed as the pool was closed, so the icy local lake beckons instead. Timo & Val were the only people who refused to join in. Afterwards the couples were invited to have a go at basejumping. Due to her age, Margaret in particular gained respect for agreeing to try it. Timo was left embarrassed after ducking out at the last minute, after he was already up the lift and about to jump. Timo & Val refused to do almost every activity of the day and consequently received a vote from every other couple since Mark & Ann received six votes on day 21 of series three, that a clean sweep giving them their second yellow card followed by their red card, meaning they had to walk the plank and go home.

Day 8 - Norrköping

Amanda & Nikki were almost booted off the coach after being late in the morning, but were let of with a warning as they had timekeeping issues. Amanda lost her precious diamond ring, and it was unknown whether it was in her luggage, as a result of rushing to pack her belongings in the morning after oversleeping. And, in some Swedish woods, the group had a lesson in mind over matter, but the fire-walking experience left some of the party cold.

Day 9 - Stockholm

As the tour rolled in to Stockholm goth rockers - and ex-relations - Chris and Lauren joined the travelers before they visited a music museum. Some of the party enjoy a roof top walk round the city and then the day's sightseeing was forgotten in a shocking moment of real-life drama as the coach crashed into a tunnel after the driver did not observe the prior warning sign displaying the height restrictions.

Day 10 - Nuuksio Park/Rural (Finland)

After a night ferry crossing, the tour arrived at Nuuksio Park in rural Finland, where the tourists were eaten alive by mosquitoes as they attempted to master local folk dancing. When it came to the vote, the atmosphere amongst the travelers was very good, and so it was time to share the yellow card.

Day 11 - Helsinki

The coach departed the woods arrived in the Finnish capital of Helsinki, where the tourists tried a spot of ice hockey at the Hartwall Areena before having a hot and steamy session in a sauna.

Day 12 - Tallinn

In Tallinn, Estonia, Brendan planned a stag party, which began with the coach being ambushed by Soviet soldiers. Later, the ladies got to grips with a butler in the buff.

Day 14 - Cēsis

Day 15 - Riga

With Martin & Margaret and Teresa & Katie gone the day starts with 4 empty spare seats to be occupied. The remaining tourists round off the week in Riga, Latvia, where they are let loose on a summer bobsleigh track, before sampling some of the finest local caviar - which isn't to everyone's tastes.

Day 16 - Siauliai

In Siauliai, Lithuania, the tourists pay a visit to the spectacular Hill of Crosses, one of the country's major Catholic pilgrimage sites. Later, they party with a local folk group.

Day 17 - Vilnius

In Vilnius, Lithuania, the group pay a harrowing visit to the KGB museum. And, despite Brendan's attempt to cheer everyone up in the afternoon, the day ends in turmoil, with a shock red card at an emotional vote.

Day 18 - Kaunas

Day 18, in Kaunas, Lithuania, brings more new arrivals, a disastrous traditional cookery lesson and a spectacularly unsuccessful raft-building session.

Day 19 - Curonian Spit

Yet more new arrivals climb onboard at Curonian Spit in Lithuania. It's not long before everyone's getting stuck into the locals' traditional work: gutting and smoking fish - which causes plenty of commotion among the tourists. The afternoon is due to be spent blow-carting - except there's no wind - and, at the vote, there's all-out war between two couples.

Day 20 - Klaipeda

The Lithuanian love-in continues in Klaipeda, as the group meet dolphins and a huge sea lion at the Sea Museum. Later, they scour the beach for Baltic amber.

Day 21 - Malmo

The tourists arrive in Sweden and drive to Malmo, where they receive a rap lesson from a local pop star.

Day 22 - Copenhagen

In Copenhagen, the tourists try to see the city by kayak, but Brendan falls out of his vessel, and the major city waterways prove too much for the plucky Brits.

Day 23 - Odense

In Odense, Denmark, Amanda and Nikki's prayers are answered in the form of hunks Geoff and Jack. On a visit to the Hans Christian Andersen museum, Amanda and Jack flirt heavily.

Day 24 - Arhus

Glamorous girls Kayley & Helena join the coach in Arhus, Denmark, where the trippers head off to the Sky Tower for a freefall drop which tests their fear of heights. Later in the day new couple Phil & Celia join the group for some wood carving.

Day 25 - Aalborg

In Aalborg, Denmark the rivalry escalates between new girls Kayleigh and Helena, and Amanda and Nikki, with some impromptu dancing on the coach before the group take part in traditional viking games. Then later on mucking out at a pig farm proves too much for the tourists.

Day 26 - Rural Norway

The tour party arrives off the ferry in Norway, where the group learn handball and tackle a 1km zip wire across a river.

Day 27 - Oslo

The coach trundles into Oslo and Brendan takes the tourists for a spot of culture at the Munch museum.

After a bad night's sleep on the night train, the tourists arrive in Bergen, before boarding a boat to tour the stunning fjords, and then going skiing, with predictable results.

Day 29 - Voss

In Voss, Norway, on the last full day of the current trip, the party goes white water rafting and abseil down sheer cliffs, before voting for their favourite couple.

Day 30 - The Last Day

It's the journey home and Brendan reminisces about the best and worst of the last 30 days on the road.

Day 1 - Prague

The celebrity party gets straight on with the fun in Prague. First up is a lesson at the Czech National Ballet. Later they go for a hair-raising ride in old Soviet tanks. Two new arrivals join the coach in the shape of Big Brother's Ben Duncan and ex-Apprentice star Raef Bjayou

Day 2 - Pilzen

The coach leaves Prague for Pilzen in the west of the Czech Republic. A surprised Brendan finds himself naked in a beer bath with Ingrid Tarrant and Barry Chuckle. And Ricky Groves and Alex Ferns display a lot more of themselves than Bianca Gascoigne and Imogen Thomas bargained for

Day 3 - Regensburg

The travellers arrive in Regensburg, Germany, where Alex struggles with sausage-making, while Ricky shows off his cooking skills and prepares lunch for everyone. In the afternoon, the group embarks on a river cruise, but Brendan's educational efforts are scuppered by the presence of a keg of beer.

Day 4 - Passau

The coach reaches the Bavarian town of Passau, where the famous faces enjoy a tour of the cathedral and receive an accordion lesson. They also take a canoe trip down the Danube, where Ben and Raef annoy Brendan by heading off in their own direction.

Day 5 - Linz

The tourists arrive in Linz, Austria, where they cross water in AquaSpheres, and visit the Museum of the Future, where an experiment fails to find activity in Ben Duncan's brain.

Day 6 - Salzburg

As the travellers prepare to set off for Salzburg, they are joined by interior designers Colin McAllister and Justin Ryan. Brendan's refereeing skills are put to the test with the little-known Tyrolean sport of six cup, before another two new arrivals, former Dollar heart-throb David Van Day and DJ Tony Blackburn, board the coach.

Day 7 - Innsbruck

Former football player Rodney Marsh and ex-Bucks Fizz star Cheryl Baker join the tour as it heads for the Austrian Alpine resort of Innsbruck. There, they are given a chance to feed the animals at Europe's highest zoo, before hurtling back down the mountain at a summer bobsleigh track.

Day 1 - Milan

The new tour in the Mediterranean sun starts in Milan the famous place for fashion, and within hours the tourists are making a racket 'singing' opera next to the city's famous cathedral. At the first vote there are already signs of tension and daggers among this feisty group - Brendan's going to have his work cut out.

Day 2 - Lago Maggiore

It's Day 2 of the brand new tour and the group travels to the stunning Lake Maggiore in the foothills of the Alps. The tourists get the chance to swim at one of the lake's exclusive islands. Two of the lads aren't shy when stripping off for a swim, causing one of the ladies to get very overexcited. But one couple who don't share in the fun find themselves under pressure at the vote.

Day 3 - Saas-Fee and Zermatt

The party crosses the Swiss border. But Brendan's planned 'snow day' hits the rocks when because of bad weather they shut all of the Cable Cars and ski area was closed since cable car suspension in Saas-Fee on Day 9 of series 4. Brendan takes them to a local museum instead, which gets mixed reviews. Later on disaster strikes when a tourist takes a tumble on the mountain and is rushed to hospital. And at the vote it's all out war between two couples as one pair accuse the other of neglecting and phishisically abusing their family by coming on the trip.

Day 4 - Sierre

Brendan's tourists leave the Swiss mountains and head for an underground lake. A lesson in blowing the alpine horn descends into 'Carry On... ' territory. There appears to be a bit of a north-south divide going on in the group, with the southerners not taking Brendan's tour seriously, and tensions on the rise. At the vote, one couple gets stung in the neck for constant moaning.

Day 5 - Lake Geneva

The first week ends with our tourists wakeboarding on Lake Geneva - with predictably dismal results. Two couples make an early departure, replaced by two striking new arrivals who look sure to shake things up. Ongoing arguments boil over again at the vote, leading to a red card for one couple.

Day 6 - Lyons

The coach rolls Mediterranean country bound into France, where they pick up two young attractive new tourists and a game of boules descends into farce as Brendan's refereeing is called into question. Later on all sense of decorum is lost at a French language lesson where the smutty behaviour of two of the tourists alienates them from the others. At the vote the passengers outroar and mummify each-other like lions and egyptians.

Day 7 - Clermont-Ferrand

The day begins with a shock departure that upsets the group. Brendan attempts a cultural morning touring the city's sights, but all the tourists want to do is shop. A lunch of a Paris cuisine snails isn't a great success. And the afternoon is spent at the world's only volcano-themed park before one tourist erupts at the vote.

Day 8 - Brive La Gaillarde

The second week begins with the group enjoying a morning's truffle hunting, but Brendan gets increasingly annoyed with the behaviour of the younger tourists. The afternoon is spent on a relationship bonding exercise at a woodland adventure park that almost ends in divorce for one couple. And two couples have a spat at vote time over make up giving them an automatic red card for instigating a fight.

Day 9 - Bordeaux

Brendan takes the group to an exclusive restaurant for some oyster tasting. Later the party is joined by two plucky new tourists before an afternoon of catamaran sailing. Meanwhile the make up row rumbles on.

Day 10 - Mimizan

Brendan is forced to take drastic action against one couple after complaints from the hotel management. Once on the road a bizarre morning is spent at a medieval eco-museum where the group have a lesson in stilt walking. Miraculously nobody gets hurt, but in the afternoon there is a casualty as one tourist is thrown from a horse after scaring it by screaming.

Day 11 - San Sebastian

As the coach rolls Mediterranean country bound into Spain a new couple of outdoor adventurists join the tour. Brendan tests the group's language skills with a Basque lesson before testing their physical prowess with a game of pelota.

Day 12 - Pamplona

The tour visits Pamplona, home of the world-famous bull run, but unfortunately they're a week late, so must settle for making some churros instead. In an attempt to further Anglo-Spanish relations Brendan organises a game of cricket, but the behaviour of a brand new tourist embarrasses the rest of the group

Day 13 - Bilbao

In Bilbao there's more Basque-country fun with some rural sports before the group hit the beach for an afternoon's surfing.

Day 14 - Santander

The tour moves on to Santander where Brendan organises a golf tournament, and once again his refereeing ability is called into serious question. One couple are increasingly distant from the rest of the group which proves their downfall at the vote.

Day 15 - Gijon / Seville

One of the older tourists pays for overindulging the night before and is filled with horror at the first of the day's excursions - a cider farm. It gets worse in the afternoon as Brendan takes them on a deep sea fishing trip to catch some fish for the Tapas bar in Seville and loses half the group to sea sickness even though Seville could be a number of miles away from Gijon.

Day 16 - Viveiro

Members of the group have a chance to rejuvenate themselves at a health spa in Viveiro, Spain, where they are joined by a mischievous new couple. One of the older tourists shows the youngsters how it is done during the afternoon's quad bike racing session, and an original duo find themselves in the firing line at the vote.

Day 17 - A Coruna

The group arrives in A Coruna, Spain, where Brendan arranges Picasso-inspired Cubist art lesson The afternoon is spent with some Galician folk musicians, and two new passengers join the coach. However, it becomes clear that a clear divide is developing between the original tourists and the newcomers.

Day 18 - Santiago de Compostela

The tourists arrive in Santiago de Compostela, north-west Spain, to visit one of Christianity's holiest pilgrimage sites, but conflict erupts when one of the newer couples tries to manipulate the voting.

Day 19 - Porto

Brendan organises a lesson in tripe cooking and port tasting for the group in Porto, Portugal, but the behaviour of one couple annoys the other tourists, with the divide between new and old contestants showing no signs of healing

Day 20 - Aveiro

In Aveiro, Portugal, Brendan challenges the tourists to make and sell traditional sweet eggs, before they enjoy local folk dancing. However, the sun's effects help hospitalise one of the group, before the votes are cast.

Day 21 - Obidos

The tourists take part in a seaside yoga lesson before enjoying a medieval adventure in the picturesque town of Obidos, Portugal. One member of the group overdoes it in the heat, and her continued loud behaviour makes her an easy target at the vote.

Day 22 - Lisbon

Two attractive newcomers cause a stir on the bus, before Brendan provides the tourists with electric buggies and lets them loose on Lisbon. However, they end up getting in trouble without their trusty guide to oversee them, and there is further discord later in the afternoon when an argument erupts over the voting rules.

Day 23 - Evora

The tourists head to Evora, where they enjoy a treasure hunt on Portugal's largest lake before visiting an ostrich farm. Voting time brings a few surprises for the participants.

In Seville, Spain, the group spends the day flamenco dancing and receiving lessons in bullfighting. Brendan is then forced to hand out a red card, leaving the tourists with a tough decision at vote time

Brendan gets the tourists to cook his favourite dish, paella, before more cookery-related fun takes place at a bowl-making class

Day 27 - Tarifa

Day 28 - Tangier

A new couple joins the participants for the last three days of the trip as the tourists arrive in Tangier, Morocco, where they enjoy the city's souk, its open-air marketplace. Brendan also allows the group to create perfumes - with mixed results

Day 29 - Chefchaouen

Going Home

As they pack their bags for home, Brendan and the Brits take a moment to reflect on all the fun they've had over the last six weeks.

Day 7 and the Christmas Coach Trip adventure continues as the tourists arrive in the Swedish town of Umeå. In the morning, the group sample some of Sweden's more adventurous culinary delights.

Adriatic Sea

The group spend the day sailing the Adriatic with limbo dancing and taking a turn as the ship's cabaret act. But it all ends in disaster...

Haskovo

It's the 26th day on the road and the coach stops in the ancient Bulgarian city of Haskovo, where a famous chef serves the tourists a dish they find hard to stomach. Later, the group takes to the tracks for a spot of go-karting, and one of the new arrivals is targeted at the vote.

Edirne

Chambery

Brendan is forced into hospital, leaving one of the tourists to take charge of the group. There's mayhem at a dairy farm. And it's up, up and away in some microlites. Then back to earth with a bump at the vote.

Livorno

There's a double dose of new arrivals as two new couples join the group to enjoy classic Italian fun at a pizza-making class and then a visit to the Vespa museum.

Sardinia

Two new tourists board the coach in Sardinia. Brendan lets the group loose at a market after an Italian lesson, then they make waves sea kayaking, but who will be in deep water at the vote?

Sardinia (2)

A tree-top assault course leaves one tourist paralysed with fear, a Sardinian delicacy causes an upset stomach, and there's more upset at the vote.

Nice

The tourists have a tennis lesson in Nice and play with dolphins at a marine park. But with more waterworks at the vote will someone be waving goodbye to the coach?
