Travel Tips
Well I lived in Germany for seven years and we saw several wonderful things. I recommend Berlin, it has so much history, we went on a walking tour and it was extremely interesting. The Black Forest is a must because there are not only beautiful castles like Neuschwanstein and Hohenschwangau (right next to one another), there are wonderful bed and breakfasts way up in the mountains. There are also shops, cuckoo clocks, grandfather clocks, walking sticks, what have you. While there Austria is a good choice my family went to the salt mines and had a blast. You have to wear mining gear and it's quiet interactive. Trier is in the eastern part of Germany near the Luxembourg border, it is a beautiful city with Roman Charm. There are Roman bath, amphitheatres, and a other beautiful buildings and churches. I also recommend traveling down one of the two main rivers (Mosel or Rhine) there are castles and wonderful towns with neat places to shop. There are also the grape vines, and several vineyards, in some places you can go up and even pick the grapes the road is so close to them. (I don't reccomend that though) My mother recommends the Mosel. Food wise I would try pommes frites (French fries) they are very different and add mayo, it sounds gross but it's a different type of mayo and it is very delicious. Curry wurst is also very good; sausages are plentiful try as many as you can. Don't be afraid of the small restaurant or one's that have a small shack they're usually some of the best places to eat. Try the salad it's different, but it's worth trying. Buying wise I would buy chocolate because it's hard to get in the U.S. clocks (Black Forest), anything you really think is neat. You鈥檙e bound to find things as presents and millions of things for yourself. Have Fun on your trip. |
