for外國人用既火車證(平點)要係境外買﹐所以要係HK買定先﹐可經旅行社(希望冇記錯)。旅館除非你想住好旺既﹐唔係都可以去到先找﹐大部分城市既tourist information kiosk都可幫手找旅館﹐價錢尤人﹐所以每到一目的地﹐我地先行找tourist info.。不過第一站既旅館你可能想預先訂﹐有點安全感﹐可翻看旅遊書﹐邊間可以用電話/fax/e-mail預定。
I used to be a backpacker with 2 girlfriends to travel 12 Europe countries for almost 2 months, when I was still young (N years ago). It was really a good memory & experience to myself.
Rightnow, my husband & I are still struggling to bring my 2 kids (9yrs old & 6.5yrs old) to Greece in coming Summer holiday??? Do you think Greece (let's say 9-10 days) is good traveling place to such age of kids??? How about travel to UK??? Any idea & comment to share with me??? Tks.
We fly on 09-Feb and back on 24-Feb.07. We went to Amsterdam --> Germany --> Amsterdam --> Paris --> UK.
Since I travel by CX, adult ticket around HK$10000 and the ticket for child is around 8500.
Same as mentioned above, We like Paris so much, it is worth to go. Seafood is very good.
Basically, everywhere have different feeling. Amsterdam can see the windmill, very nice and we buy many cheese. UK seems like HK but you will find the "home" feeling. very nice.
Hi E.Y.,
I were a backpacker too when I were young, spending 45 days in West Europe. It is really a good memory.
From 2003 to 2005, I traveled to Europe every summer with my daughter who is now 6 years old, first trip to UK, second one to Germany and Switzerland, and the third one to France and London. Europe is very children-friendly. My main concern is transportation. Railway is a good choice for their safety, reliability and wide coverage but I really don't want to over-burden my husband to pick up luggage up and down the trains, and hence we always rent a car and drive on our own which make our travel easier.
For choices between Greece and UK, I would consider that UK is more suitable for children with her great varieties in historian buildings, parks, lakes, museums and various kinds of performances. Greece's islands are beautiful but the transportation to get there can be quite clumsy and the water is a bite cool for swimming. The attractions in Greece's mainland are no more than giant rocks and ruins and I'm not sure how much the children will enjoy them. Her summer temperature can be as high as 40 degree too.
西班牙既barcelona同南部稱市例如sevilla都好好玩﹐barcelona唔駛講﹐同florence一樣多建築﹐多藝術睇﹐但同milan一樣好多shopping.如買italian brand當然係italy買﹐但西班牙同樣有好多正product﹐branded or unbranded.食物我就真係首推西班牙﹐我鐘意食海鮮﹐咁多過國家﹐都係西班牙最正(mussels就比利時既好d﹐係北面個海出產﹐味道與別不同)。佢地小點tapas有如我地既點心﹐花款多﹐平。又多夜生活﹐多姿多彩。當然﹐入夜就要小心治安。sevilla勝在十分平﹐觀光同樣一流﹐同感受當地文化﹐但可能太南﹐不順路。
Thanks for your information. I agree with your points. My husband says UK is very dull place (both of us had been there N years ago) for young kid to travel.
O.K., let me discuss further with my husband about UK.
I may come back to you and ask you many questions shortly . Hope you don't mind by then.
