Save Dollars Touring Europe – Guaranteed
Dear wonderous reader. The best value in touring Europe for 2007 is on a cruise ship.
For about $130 per person per day, you get all the food ( it is gourmet) anytime you want. With your ship as hotel and magic carpet you avoid road rage, missed autobahn exits and that 20% VAT tax. Or do you really enjoy paying $8 per gallon for Petrol for your YUGO, or TRABANT.
Remember if you hit a local animal you may get to buy it. What a souvenir!!! And have you even tried ordering Freedom Fries in a French restaurant. With the US dollar in total eclipse with the Euro thrill to paying $15 for a McDonald’s burger in Paris. And should you run afoul of the law remember that Franch and much of Europe uses napoleonic codes which means that you are presumed guilty until proven innocent.
The cost per person of a moderately priced tour (Globus, Trafalgar, Brendan Tours) exceeds the cost of the $130 with the added attracton that you have to pack and unpack repeatedly, eat perhaps two meals per day of blase food accompanied with vin ordinaire.
When the Euro was worth 85 cents not 135, then you could argue that the value of the land tour was equal to a cruise. But with the US Dollar in decline times have changed.
