Trip around Germany

Posted by Janice on October 30, 2009

A few months ago my brother told me that he was going to take his new wife on a three week vacation to Germany this coming summer. He wants to go back to his roots and see where the family originated from. He had heard that there is a National Forest, a town, and a castle all named after the paternal side of the family! Well of course he wants to go and see if he can meet any distant relatives and take lots of pictures of any and everything that can be linked to the family history! I was rather surprised at his recent interest in family history, but I think it’s great!

So he has been looking to get some good deals on where to stay while traveling around Germany. He has asked me for some help on researching Berlin Hotels for prices, but also for amenities. He wants to save money, but he wants to be comfortable. He remembers the time he went to Quebec and thought he was getting a great deal and did not care for the amenities at all! He didn’t realize that “charming” meant “old and ugly and cold damp and tiny!” He’s also thinking about going to Frankfurt, Munich, and Köln so he wants me to check out the Frankfurt Hotels, Munich Hotels, and the Köln Hotels.  I guess I’ll have to learn more about the geography of Germany because I don’t know if any of these cities are close enough to each other that he can maybe just stay in one and make a day trip to any others, or if they really are too far apart to be able to do that.
