The choice of this route was made under many premises. First, we took into account the weekends before and after, and on Saturday there was only a direct flight from Shanghai to Barcelona. We considered going from Macau to Barcelona, but the cost was much higher than going in and out at the same time, and we were a group of six people, which was a significant expense. Second, due to the large number of people, we were concerned about the uncertainty of the transfer, so we naturally chose a direct flight. Third, there were many places to play, and choosing to commute by train and plane would result in more time spent at the station and airport, while the cost of renting a car and returning it at a different location was higher than returning it at the same location, so in the end we chose the big closed loop route. Another key issue is that no matter where you enter or exit, the last place to leave is Barcelona. One reason is to put shopping in Barcelona, and the other is to put the most stunning Sagrada Familia as the last viewing point. Before determining the plan, we also thought about it, but 600 kilometers is not too far. Our flight arrives in Barcelona at 8 am on the sixth day, so it won't take us too long to get to Madrid. Two people drive, it's not too tired ?
Spain Q&A
The god-like group members, I picked up the car from Berlin, went to Düsseldorf, Halle, Leipzig, Weimar, Gießen, Frankfurt, Mannheim, and returned the car in Stuttgart. I don't know if this route is okay? I originally wanted to go to Prague, but I was too timid and endured it. Now I have chosen this route. Can any familiar experts recommend hotels and restaurants, give some advice, and point out any precautions? This is my first time driving in Europe, and I am nervous and uneasy ?
Germany Q&A
It used to be smooth to pick up the car in advance no matter where, but this time at Hertz at Oslo Airport, I arrived more than an hour in advance and was told that the car had not arrived and I couldn't pick it up early. They asked me to pay extra to change the car or wait for an hour to complete the procedures. I ended up waiting for an hour. Ten days later, I had to go to Iceland and arrived three hours in advance. I was afraid of encountering the same situation, so I wanted the customer service and the car rental company to communicate the situation. The customer service asked me to cancel the order and place a new one, but I had to email the car rental company to explain the situation. However, I did not receive a reply from the car rental company in Iceland. Fortunately, picking up the car in advance in Iceland was not a problem, and I was upgraded to an SUV with 4-wheel drive for free. So, I have a good impression of Iceland this time, but a very bad impression of Hertz at Oslo Airport. They not only make things difficult and charge for miscellaneous items, but they have already charged me three times ?
Norway Q&A
Say something about the annoying things I encountered on the boat in Krabi, so that you can have a reference.
I bought a ticket to Chicken Island from Ao Nang Pier, not a chartered boat, but a scheduled boat, which is a longtail boat. (In Krabi, I almost bought tickets to various islands from their ticket office every day, and it was fine for the first few days.) When I got on the boat, the captain was still the same one as the day before when we chartered a boat to Hong Island, and we were quite happy about it. We shared the boat with some local Thais, and on the way, the captain asked us what time we wanted to return. I had a flight at 8pm, so I wanted to return at 2pm, and a.. ?
Thailand Q&A
Two trips to Italy in two years, passing through Sicily, Dolomites, Tuscany, and some other cities. Personally, I feel that the security in Italy is not a big problem. Tourist attractions are always crowded, which is unavoidable anywhere. Just be mindful of your belongings, keep some loose change in your pocket, and don't expose large amounts of cash. We added a small combination lock to our backpacks for extra security. Thieves also choose their targets, just like in our own country. I've seen many foreigners leaving their bags far away while taking photos, and their belongings were not stolen. There are armed police guarding various attractions in Italy, so I didn't feel unsafe at all ?
