The holiday thread

[Robbo]

This year's holiday is Northern Germany, more specifically the island of Rügen in the north east. Lots of beaches and beeches, very cycling friendly and comfortable weather (except for the 35° scorching us today).

The island is a bit of an odd, but charming mix of Denmark, Italy and Germany, with a bit of France thrown in.

Always fancied Rugen and the surrounding area and along the baltic coast to St Petersberg as a road trip.
Loop round Finland, Sweden/Norway and back through Denmark.
Not sure about that route with Mad Vlad around mind you.

I think that could be a fantastic road trip. Would probably be best to avoid Russia these days, and instead take a ferry from Tallin to Helsinki, of course.

We're travelling with kids, and took the highway from Kiel to Rügen, otherwise we might've stayed along the coast and spent a few days on the journey. Have heard it's the best part of Northern Germany.

Loving Rügen so far, so it's fine to spend most of our time here. We've seen a lot of the east coast already, and will be going to Bergen and Hiddensee within the next few days. Great laidback atmosphere.
