Berliner High Trail

Hi there.
My wife and I intend to do the "Berliner High Trail" early September. Walking about 7 days from hut to hut. We are now in the middle of the planning and would like to know:
1. Do we need to take slipping bag…?
2. Is it possible each morning to send our luggage to the next hut…?
3. What about food: dinner, breakfast and something during the walking…?
Thanks a lot

Favorite Cities

Hi,
I'm planning on doing a solo back packing trip through Europe next summer, and I am wondering what are some of your need to see places?

I just came back from an 11 month exchange in Belgium as an exchange student with Rotary International, so I have been to a couple of places already, but for sure are planning on going back to Brussels, Ghent, Paris and London.

What are some must see sights/cities?

Thanks

Our holiday in France & Italy

Hi all,

My wife and I are travelling to Europe for a month in Aug-Sep and we’re dedicating 3 days to London and then half our remaining time to France and half to Italy. We have been through the painstaking process of crossing southern Germany and northern Spain off our Itinerary (will have to wait until next time!).

I’ve never been to Europe and my wife was there when she left school so has seen major attractions etc. We’re looking for a mix of culture, nightlife and a bit (but not overload) of sightseeing. Enjoy meeting and getting to know different people – one of the joys of travelling! We’re planning on travelling by train, hire car and bus where necessary. We’ll also need one internal flight I think. Our budget is reasonably tight although not shoe-string, so a mix of hotels and b&b’s is probably what we’re looking at. Interested in any thoughts – below itinerary is... more »

Going overland from Greece to Turkey - Border Crossing @ Ipsala

I will most likely be taking the bus from Alexandroupolis to Ipsala (sp?). I understand that I show my (US) passport, pay a $20 US fee, and get it stamped.

1) I am under the impression that the Greek bus leaves me somewhere, and I must proceed by vehicle to the Turkish border. Is this correct, and if so, are there shuttle services to do this? Is it pretty routine, or are there any scams I should know about beforehand?

2) I assume there are ATMS at the border or money exchange available at reasonable rates.
Is that correct?

2) Once at the Turkish border, can I get a bus from there directly to Canakkale, or is there more to it than that? Ie., does anyone know how I can get access to a bus schedule to get an idea of the wait time at the border? I just don't want to be spending a great deal of time in transit at the border, if it can be avoided.

Thanks!

What can I expect to pay for a room for 2 weeks in S. Crete

Hi:

I am going to need a simple room in a small village on the SE coast of Crete (probably in Paleochora, or maybe someplace near it - Sougia, Loutro....). My question is how much can I expect to pay for a room (with private bath) if I stay for 2 weeks? I would be taking the room probably the second two weeks of October.

Do you think it will be possible to get something for 25E (or cheaper...)? I have heard that rates can go down if you stay for a long period of time, but I have no idea of what to expect or what is reasonable to ask for.

Thanks
