NAC European Travel

[Thomas Reich]

Are you traveling by car, train, bike, hike?

If by bike, i can recommend the french central mountains.  Very nice tours and
old old buildings and cities to be seen there.  Also not much traffic, since
its about 5000ft elevated.

The camarque (wildlife resort) in south france along the mediterranean sea is
also a pretty place to visit.

Strassbourg has a fantastic dome... well it is a tourist trap, BUT you also can
get the best Flammkuchen (kinda like a very, very thin pizza dough with onions,
bacon and sourcream on top) around there.

I also recommend to travel around in Austria and find some place to sleep at
the border of italy.  Something that looks like an old farm.  I used to stay in
a town called Reisach and the people who rented the rooms still made their own
bread, sausage, marmelade, butter and so on.... i can't even describe how good
that breakfast tasted.  And it was dirt cheap too.  Had no heating, because the
house was about 700 yrs old and during the time the house was new, they used
the animals, which lived on the ground level, to heat the rooms on the upper
levels.

If you are looking for action or nightlife, i guess Hamburg, Munich, Paris,
Berlin are good places to go.

Hmm.... Scotland and the highlands are very nice for hiking... its very green..
lots of beautiful nature, but mostly it rains lightly and you need some good
rain protection to conquer that country by foot.

Thats about it from my experience.
