Yeah it does sound great doesnt it... I'm jealous too but I already got to do the big European travel (we went for 11 weeks but also spent a week each in Hong Kong, Japan & spent a couple of weeks in UK too) so I cant complain LOL
They dont know how long they'll be going for. They will be retired & they're selling their house before they leave too so they dont have a time limit. (When they get back they have their caravan & 4WD & will be spending about 8-12 months travelling around Australia THEN they will buy another house to re-settle in!)
Holland isnt much of a big deal as they will be staying & eating with family, of course there are a few tours etc that I have suggested for them but Holland will be the cheapest.
They also want to go to London, they have accom available for them there with my late BIL's family but I think they'll stay in a hotel so they have their own space. I'm guessing they'll prob spend about a week in London.
Places they want to visit are:
Holland
London
Scotland
Places I'm suggesting they visit ontop are:
Paris (for the Louvre, Notre Dame, Eiffel Tower, Moulin Rouge etc)
Nice (Just beautiful & if they're already in France... why not LOL)
Venice (I loved Venice & I think they would enjoy it)
Rome (cause it's a touristy place to visit, if they're close might aswell go!)
Vatican City (beautiful & I think mum would like the Sistine Chapel)
Pisa (for the leaning tower of pisa of course! LOL We stayed in Florence & got a bus, Florence was gorgeous too)
Germany (Berlin Wall etc)
Prague (If they get time/money.... I loved Prague, it is absolutely stunning!)
Saltzburg (if they have time/money. If you like "the sound of music" then you'll love Saltzburg.... I dont know if mum & dad like the movie but Saltzburg was one of my favourites, a gorgeous place to visit, just really gorgeous!)
ok, I'll leave it there lmao otherwise they'll be gone a year!!!! hahahahaha I just really want them to make the most of their trip, they're only doing it once, they're both in their 60's I want them to make the most of it
I remember a few places being ALOT more expensive than others but I cant remember alot about where it was, I think Venice, Paris & Monte Carlo were the most expensive (by alot) but really cant be sure. I'm hoping other people can remember better than I can!!
