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.
AD

AD
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.

AD
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.
AD
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.
AD
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.
AD
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.
AD
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.
AD
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.
AD
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.
AD
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.
AD
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.
AD
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.
