Hi guys
Bump! Any budget advice?
Hi yage,
You are right. It would be much cheaper to buy your winter gear from London or elsewhere in Europe.
100AUD a day is a really good budget especially with the high exchange rate and obviously it helps that you are traveling in the low season.
Make sure your itinerary flows logically, you want to avoid backtracking which is annoying and costly. So in your case, Cologne would be before Berlin and Vienna would be after Bratislava. I recommend Interlaken (in Switzerland), Salzburg and Budapest if you have time. Look to spend at least four nights in the larger cities and three nights in the smaller ones.
Good luck.
Apparently New Years in Miami and Amsterdam are good too but I have never been.
pack some bit of emergency food. if you get starving and there is nothing else, peanuts, raisins, tree nuts, etc are just as good crushed in your backpack as uncrushed. don't snack on it! save it for the moment you CAN'T find a store, or all the late night places are not as late as you are!
and!! dry sausages are available all over- try to buy one that will last a day and keep a fresh piece with you.
