Europe is a desirable place with highly developed economy and civilization index, unique cultural charm and well-protected natural landscape. This is the best choice for your travel. This is a tour guide for European cruise ships.
actually, traveling is a very hard thing, so you should start your research one month in advance.
From the timetables of air tickets and hotels to train timetables and subway route maps, we have to consult a lot of information and rack our brains to make reservations.
coupled with the rush of travel, I was so tired that I just wanted to go home and sleep, carrying heavier and heavier suitcases and running around three or four cities at most.
But this trip to Europe took 11 days and visited 1 cities in 4 countries, and the total cost was 1-1.5w RMB, which will be cheaper in the off-season.
because I chose to follow the boat, I followed the Viking cruise all the way down the river, and the trip was reasonable and easy. I don't have to worry at all, and I don't have to run around.
see the scenery every day and buy it at buy buy. When you are tired, you can go back to the deck for afternoon tea. This is really called vacation mode.
let's share the route of a Viking trip. It gets dark at 9: 3 every day in Europe, so the days are long enough to let go of yourself and solve the troubles that you can't even think about in your daily life.
I was vaguely worried about seasickness, but later I found that the Rhine River was very gentle, and the speed of the cruise ship was only 2km/h. Without looking at the banks, I couldn't feel the boat moving at all.
The river view room with its own balcony is especially hypnotic when sleeping. Drink a glass of chicken tail in the lounge after dinner every day. When I got back to my room, I began to feel sleepy, especially regularly.
When you don't want to get off the boat during the day, lying on the sofa or on the sunny deck of your room, drinking a cup of coffee and reading a book is the essence of European leisure life. It's so pleasant.
It's no exaggeration to say that this is the first time I feel at home during my trip.
All the luggage can be displayed generously, so there is no need to run around, there is no compulsory consumption point, you can move freely at any time if you don't want to say hello to the group, there is also a 24-hour food supply, and even a huge tax refund form filled out by the staff for you. It's so easy.
before it's too late, let's start sharing the eleven-day journey!
Switzerland
The first stop of this landing is Basel, Switzerland, a quiet town bordering the three countries, which is very suitable for taking a walk after dinner.
The next morning, I came to Jungfrau where it snowed in June. Don't be afraid of cold. There are Panshan trains all the way. You just need to hide by the heater and watch the window turn from green to white.
Back on the boat in the evening, we also ate roast leg of lamb and pepper chicken with a bowl of pig's foot soup, which was a perfect first day.
The second stop in Switzerland is Lucerne, which is the Swiss's favorite holiday town.
The lake is covered with swans, the shore is misty and rainy, and there are many small villas on the other side of the island, which are as beautiful as castles.
At noon, I ate authentic fondue with cheese on a cruise ship, and in the afternoon, I stopped and walked in the old city, and found a pocket watch that fell in love at first sight.
who said that Switzerland is "boring with mountains and water"? It's easy to visit, and I really want to support the elderly.
France
Further north, Lucerne came to France.
The first stop is Strasbourg, a very free and unrestrained city. Even if I wear dahongpao, I won't stand out, but I look like a gypsy woman.
Although the area is small, there is Paris to visit in spring. I saw the discount, which is in line with Paris. I lost Maje and Sandro's clothes and pinko's senior swallow bag, and put them on happily in Paris the next day.
Sandro, a backless dress with a little cheongsam design, stopped me by a photographer on the Champs Elysé es and asked for a photo. With such honor, I can finally be regarded as a qualified fashion blogger.
Because Paris has been here before, this special shopping trip broke away from the big troops who visited the Louvre and Notre Dame, starting from the Arc de Triomphe and sweeping along the Champs Elysé es to Macher.
Although every big city has its own luxury street, the French are so romantic that waiters don't care if you have the financial resources to buy it. They just want to share the beautiful things in the world with you. Don't give yourself courage outside the store.
If you have good feet, you can sweep out many secret boutique antique shops in this area. 1 yuan's Burberry trench coat and 8 yuan's Dior high heels are in my ecstatic pocket. Another day, I will write an article about the antique shops with good taste in Paris.
There is also an ancient shop, Les suites, which is higher than Chanel's global flagship store. It is a collection of high-end gifts and accessories of celebrities for centuries, so gorgeous that your legs are soft.
don't be nervous about the shy bag. The waiter doesn't expect you to buy it, but he will proudly show you his beautiful collection. This is just a pleasant trip to China Fashion Museum.
Germany
After entering Germany, we went to the quiet and deep Heidelberg.
it is covered with moss, and time seems to stand still. People who live here are like knights coming out of the castle, gentlemen and elegant.
(favorite city of this trip)
The second stop is koblenz. Although the city is not big, you can see the sculpture of William the Great from a distance.
Some local young people are walking under the sculptures. When night falls, they gather in the amusement park to play the roller coaster. I tried it once. It was a roller coaster-level adventure.
On the third day, we came to the famous Cologne. When I was visiting the cathedral, the little girl asked me, "Why is the cathedral so grand?"
I like that man's answer very much. He said, "Because people far away should know where to pray." I feel very poetic, and I want to spend romantic time with you.
Unfortunately, the day we arrived in Cologne happened to be Sunday, and the whole people closed their shops and had little street to visit.
But there is a bright side to everything. A more local flea market has emerged. A few kilometers along the river, I feel that half of Cologne people are out drying antiques. I also found some brooches and earrings that I like.
However, Germans who are good at logical thinking and practical work really don't understand fashion, so it is unnecessary to buy shirts and bags.
The real treasure of Germany lies in a low-key and easy-to-use drugstore!
first, let's take a big photo I bought at buy buy this time, and then I'll have a detailed look with you after I use it for one month.
Holland
When we arrived in Holland, we had actually been shopping for a long time, and we were too lazy to get up early or be greedy.
Viking Cruises obviously guessed, and the trip was extremely easy, so I could rest until two o'clock in the afternoon before disembarking.
and cross the road after disembarking, that is, the children's levee, blowing the afternoon wind and watching the big windmill creak.
the next day, I arrived in Amsterdam, the key point of my trip, and spent the whole day here.
In the morning, I visited the National Art Gallery and Van Gogh Museum. In the afternoon, I stopped for a walk in the old city. Although the wish list is basically bought, there are many shops and antique shops here, so it is inevitable to carry two bags back to the boat.
After dark, the red light district will be full of excitement, the street will smell of marijuana, there will be bikini girls in the window, and there will be real-life sex performances. Come no matter how tired you are during the day!
(You are not allowed to take photos in the red light district, but only the net map can be displayed)
When I woke up on the last day, I was finally on my way back to China. There is a small detail that particularly touched me.
at the airport, there was something wrong with the tax refund form of one of our companions. The staff of Viking Cruise patiently helped us to coordinate and negotiate, and traveled for us for more than an hour until we were finally sent to the security checkpoint.
I was thinking, next time, I must bring my mother. With such meticulous and patient service, I can safely let her go sightseeing with the brigade. I can get off the boat and go alone. We can have a buffet together in the evening and have a good time. I'm also relieved.
most importantly, the food of Viking cruise ship is unlucky. There are not only 24-hour restaurants and bars for unlimited drinking, but also chefs specially hired from China have two buffets every day:
Boiled pork slices, fish with Chinese sauerkraut, Hainan chicken rice and hot and sour powder, which are so authentic that even China's tricky stomach can gain three pounds.
not to mention western food. In every city, chefs will serve local specialties, and even almond cakes in Paris are in unlimited supply.
There will be a seafood feast for two nights. Even if you can't finish eating salmon and octopus sashimi, even Jingui oysters will be served indefinitely.
I didn't expect that my dream of eating a dozen oysters for the first time in my life was o
In addition to my trip to the Rhine, Viking cruises also had a trip to the Danube, with a focus on Central Europe. I'm going to invite my family to take annual leave in autumn to honor them for a relaxing and beautiful family trip.
what can old people not like this kind of gift?
the first half of the year has passed, so make plans for the second half.
