Eastern Europe

We are planning to start by leasing a car in Munich in early May, 2009. The leases are much, much cheaper than renting. Our overall plan is to tour various countries for a week or two and then stop and relax for a week or two so that we aren't constantly on the move.

From Munich we will take a trip, perhaps stopping along the way, to Hungary. We will spend about a week in Hungary.

Then we will go to Romania for 3-4 weeks. We will spend a couple of weeks touring around Romania and then find a place to relax for two weeks. By that time, I'm sure we will need a break.

After Romania, we will go to Croatia and spend a week touring the country before finding a nice island or sea side village to settle in for a week or so. We will be in Croatia in June so hopefully the water will be warm enough for swimming.

From Croatia we will head up through Czech Republic. We will only spend about a week there visiting Prague and Cesky (where there is a famous castle).

Then we move on to Poland where we will spend 2-3 weeks. Again the first couple of weeks will be spent touring around the country and visiting the major cities. We plan to end up along the north shore of Poland where there are some beautiful beaches. We will be mid-Summer at this point so it should be good timing.

We can drop the car across the boarder in Germany, and probably fly back to London from Berlin, and from there we head back to home sweet home. Unless we decide to head to Holland or France to visit some relatives.
