My family is gonna have the month of August free... I wonder if we can go to Germany or something.
We've been to France, Spain, Italy, and the UK already... Turkey could be fun too, they have some good food over there, or so I've heard, though I believe we might have a bit of a harder time since we don't speak the language and they don't really speak English over there.
You’d be surprised how well Turkish people talk English, especially around Touristic destinations. Also we have the best food yeah.
I have to be frank... Turkey is beautiful and the food is sure to be amazing, but everything I've heard about the Turkish people has been rather discouraging...
I did end up reading an article that said that I can expect young people in the cities and several people in tourist destinations to speak English. I wonder how fluent the average Istanbul resident is.
Berlin is lovely in August. There's an FKK (free body culture) lake in the middle of the biggest forest of the city that is weirdly very family friendly, while also super gay. If you're family is up for that 😄 the German cuisine is nothing to call home about (unless you love sausages and potatoes, and even then) but Berlin has a huge vegan culture fused with all sorts of international cuisine. And probably the best falafel and kebabs maybe excluding the middle east.
Oh, and you can get the Deutschland Ticket which let's you travel the whole country for 1 month for just 59 euros (metros, buses, trams and regional trains, just not fast inter city trains)
Yeah, probably not haha!
That's very appealing.
Now that would be awesome... We certainly wouldn't be there for the whole month though, and we'd definitely stick to one or two cities, so I'm not sure how useful that would be for the kind of travel we usually do. By myself, I'd definitely make use of that though... Maybe Germany should be my destination for solo travel. Well, there's a long while to go for summer, I guess we'll see!
Thanks for your input :D
49 euros is the price of one cross country ticket in the regional trains. A 7-day ticket just for Berlin is 45 euros. 59 for a month is well worth it even for a week.
If it still exists by August.
Right 🥹
