Take the children out. Adults and children can't play well? Wrong, children are the best traveling companions!
Fortunately, I have a strong heart and the determination to do it once I decide, which makes our trip to Germany finally possible.
? Preparation before going abroad
1. Passport. When going abroad, everyone must have a passport, and the process of applying for a passport is relatively simple. Adults only need to bring their household registration book and valid personal identity documents to any entry-exit hall of the public security bureau where their household registration is located. The detailed flow chart is on the wall of the entry-exit hall. As long as you follow the above requirements step by step, you can get your passport in about ten days. Minors need to bring household registration books and birth medical certificates, and other procedures are the same as adults. Only minors' passports are valid for five years, while adults' passports are valid for ten years.
Second, insurance. To apply for a Schengen visa, you must first buy travel medical insurance, so you must have an estimate of your approximate travel date and return time, because once you get the insurance, it is very troublesome to modify the time. In addition, considering the time difference, it is best to insure one day earlier than the date of your trip and one day later than the date of your return to China. All insurance companies provide this service, and some travel agencies also provide agency services. Consult several companies and choose what you like.
Third, the visa. You can apply for a visa after you get your passport and insurance policy. The details of visa application are listed in official website, the local visa acceptance center. As long as you prepare the materials according to the requirements on the list, you can usually get a visa smoothly. Applicants who apply for a visa for the first time must submit their materials in person at the visa acceptance center, because biometric data will be collected. The biometric data of Schengen visa is valid for 59 months, counting from the date of successful fingerprint collection. After any Schengen country submits a Schengen visa application, if biometric data has been collected and successfully obtained a visa, in subsequent applications, even if the country applying for this time is not the last Schengen country, I don't need to collect it myself. When submitting a new Schengen visa application, you only need to provide the visa number and a copy of the visa page as proof. The visa information system is applicable to all Schengen countries, so when you apply for a visa again within 59 months, you can entrust others to submit the materials if you are busy.
Fourth, air tickets. You can buy a plane ticket with confidence when you get a visa. The most worrying thing before going abroad is to buy a plane ticket, because everything is unknown before getting a visa, so I dare not place an order rashly. Seeing some attractive flight promotion information can be confusing. Fortunately, after getting the visa, the ticket price did not skyrocket, and my little heart finally settled down.
5. luggage. After buying the plane ticket, we have determined the quantity and weight of luggage that we can carry for free, and then we can start packing. Be sure to pay attention to the airport regulations on checked baggage and carry-on baggage before packing. For example, the charging treasure must be carried with you and the capacity cannot exceed 20,000 mA. Men's razors must be checked in to avoid unnecessary troubles.
Six, other matters needing attention:
Prepare clothes according to the weather and temperature in the destination country;
When traveling, it is best to take some commonly used drugs with your children, such as cold medicine, antipyretic medicine and diarrhea medicine. , so that you can keep calm and calm even if your child has any discomfort;
In order to keep in touch with relatives and friends in China and reassure them, it is good to rent a roaming superman before going abroad. WIFI is always available, and Ctrip has this service. Please contact customer service for details.
Be sure to buy a good adapter before going abroad, because foreign sockets are all round-headed, so I suffered a loss in this respect.
Our family's 20 days in Germany
On the first day, I arrived in Munich Everyone is tired after a day's flight. We fell asleep when we arrived at our residence.
I didn't dare to arrange an outdoor trip the next day because of the time difference. But instead of sleeping in the room for a day, we actively study the daily habits of local people and hope to integrate into their lives as soon as possible.
The first thing we learn is garbage sorting. This policy has not been widely implemented in China, so at first we were all confused and didn't know which trash can to put different garbage in. For example, biological wastes such as vegetables, eggshells and paper scraps should be put in green trash cans; All scraps of paper should be put into the gray trash can; Plastic bags and yogurt should be separated in yellow bags; Glass bottles and drinking water bottles should be put in baskets and sent to supermarkets for recycling; The rest of the garbage is put into the black trash can.
At first, Rundad and I both thought that this kind of garbage sorting was troublesome, or it was more convenient to throw all the garbage together in China. However, when we really mastered the skills of garbage sorting, we began to hope that this policy could be implemented in China as soon as possible, because the benefits of garbage sorting were too obvious: we didn't see any scraps of peel paper in the street, and no one threw empty bottles, not to mention the pungent smell of all kinds of garbage mixed together. Everyone here is an environmental guardian, and people can't help but feel awe of such a country.
The second thing we learned on this day is that people here have a strong sense of time. After 5: 30 pm, all the shops are closed, except gas stations, scenic spots and other special places. All the normal shops are closed on weekends, so we must buy the necessities for the weekend in advance before the weekend comes, otherwise we will have to wait until next Monday even if we are hungry and cold. This is a far cry from the 24-hour convenience stores and restaurants and clothing stores that can be seen everywhere in China. Although I think the living conditions in China are more convenient, I still tend to like the quiet life here after 5: 30 pm. The stalls and noise that can be seen everywhere in China seem to be isolated from here, and I can't help but feel that the living conditions here are actually normal and more humane.
On the third day, although I was still suffering from the discomfort caused by jet lag, I seldom came here, so I decided to arrange some trips. The first place we went was Landkreis Weilheim-Schongau, not far from where we lived. Drive directly to the top of the mountain, and the scenery along the way is like a painting. The sky is blue, the grass is green, the lake is clear and the air is super fresh. I almost thought I was dreaming.
Next, I visited four or five churches I'm not religious, but sometimes I envy religious people, because they can go to church and tell everything, whether it's ok or not, at least they can get spiritual relief and truly feel that people with faith in their hearts are happy.
What impressed me the most was the experience of going to Neuschwanstein Castle (Swan Castle). Seeing a long queue at the ticket office in the distance, I feel I must give up this scenic spot. At this time, our personal tour guide, Goddess Runbao, told us that the castle was actually built according to the Palace of Versailles, not as good as the Palace of Versailles. If we plan to go to Versailles in the future, there is no need to buy tickets to visit it. He knew a good place to take pictures from the outside, and we agreed at once.
Facts have proved that our decision is correct. We followed the godfather Runbao on the mountain climbing bus in the scenic spot, and directly arrived at ——Marienbruke Bridge, a legendary most popular panoramic shooting point in Swan Castle. This swan castle is really beautiful. It looks like a castle in a fairy tale. I really don't know/kloc-what tools and means people used in the 0/9 th century to transport marble to the cliff to build this castle. It can be said that it is a wonderful work!
On the fourth day, I drove for a long time to see the palace in Jinhu. To go to the palace, I have to take the beautiful Kimsey Faget, and I have to cross many bush paths and green lawns to finally get there. This is a quiet and leisurely journey for a few minutes, and we don't think the palace is too far away at all. And the moment I walked for a while and suddenly saw the palace, I seemed to have the feeling of "another village"
King Ludwig II built three castles in his life, and Jinhu Palace was his most expensive palace construction project. Out of a strong desire for self-expression, King Ludwig II built the Palace of Lake Kim on a 230-hectare island in Lake Kim, which is located at the foot of the charming Alps, about 80 kilometers away from Munich. Jinhu Palace is his last, largest and most expensive palace construction project.
On the fifth day, a day of leisure, I went out to play a few days ago and felt a little tired of aesthetics, so we decided to have a rest and exercise near our residence. We first went to the supermarket to buy some daily necessities, and then went to Anmo Lake near our residence. Runbao likes playing with water. When he saw the lake, he immediately cried excitedly. After the game, he didn't even wear clothes, so he went into the water naked. Even when we were about to leave, he cried and refused to leave. I was going to take him to play again, but unfortunately I didn't go because I was in a hurry. I will definitely take my baby to have fun when I have the chance.
On the sixth day, a one-day tour in Munich. I heard that it is difficult to find parking spaces in the main city, so we chose to take the subway early in the morning. After arriving at our destination, we first visited the main cities in Munich. Led by Father Runbao, we set out from Maria Square and visited Maria Pillar, New Town Hall, St Paul's Church, Graggenauer Viertel, Palais Lerchenfeld Palace and so on.
Especially impressive is Oktoberfest, also known as Oktoberfest ("October Festival"), which is held in Munich, Germany from the end of September to the beginning of 10 every year for two weeks until the first Sunday of 10. This is the biggest event of the year in Munich. I'm glad we caught up with this festival. If I didn't see it with my own eyes, I can't believe that those thin-looking waitresses can lift seven or eight cups full of 1L beer at a time to serve their guests. I was lucky enough to drink authentic non-alcoholic beer, which really tasted good. That is, from this day on, I choose to drink a bottle of non-alcoholic beer for dinner every day, which is so enjoyable.
Then I took my baby to a nearby amusement park. My baby is too addicted to all the rides related to cars and cars. I played round and round, but I just didn't want to come down. He barely fell asleep until he exhausted his little physical strength.
On the seventh day, it was another exciting day for the baby, because we took him to Münchner Tierpark Hellabrunn (Hrabren Zoo), where the baby saw elephants, monkeys, red-crowned cranes, lions and so on. The first time, especially the experience of touching a goat by myself. The baby is so happy that he doesn't know where to put his hand.
Tierpark Hellabrunn is suitable for people of all ages to go sightseeing and is a paradise for children. If I am tired of watching animals, there are many amusement facilities for them to play all day. If it weren't for the rush of time, I would take the baby again.
On the eighth day, I drove through Germany, Austria and Italy. I spent most of the day in the car, because I had to go back that day, so I only chose to get off at particularly important scenic spots to take pictures, and all the other beautiful scenery was visited by car. In Austria, we drove directly to the intersection of the top of the mountain at an altitude of 2 175 meters. It is said that the topography of the top of the mountain is somewhat similar to that of Tibet. It's a pity that Rundie and I didn't have time to go to Tibet, so we can't compare it, but standing on the top of the mountain and enjoying the snow-capped mountains in the distance has a unique flavor.
After that, we didn't choose to go back the same way, but drove back to Germany via Italy, crossing the three countries in one day, which is probably only feasible in Europe. We passed the top ski area in Italy, but unfortunately we couldn't experience it for ourselves because of the rush of time.
On the ninth day, drive directly to the apex of Austrian Alps, that is, Edelweiss Peak at an altitude of 257 1 m. On the way through Kaiser-Franz-Joseph, you can take photos and see the main peak of Grobglockner (Austrian Holy Blood Mountain), which is 3798 meters high. Although the mountain was very cold, we all had a good time and took photos with satisfaction. Suddenly, we found that our family likes climbing mountains.
On the tenth day, because the God of Eva has a business meeting, our family is free. Because many relatives and friends in China ask for purchasing, we spend most of our time shopping, and we feel very happy to do something for our relatives and friends.
I was invited to eat at the little goddess's house in the evening. During the dinner, I met the little goddess and her godmother. The two brothers look so much alike. This is a very fulfilling day.
On the eleventh day, it was raining and I couldn't go sightseeing, so I chose to go to the opera house to watch the ballet Giselle. The whole ballet is divided into two acts. The first act is full of idyllic scenery, and the second act launches various dances with supernatural imagination, especially the ghost dance of the women's group is simply classic. It's a pity that my family didn't have the conditions to let me learn dance when I was a child, otherwise I might choose to be a dancer.
The twelfth day, a very unforgettable day. First, we went to the most famous Hofbrauhaus (Royal Beer House) in Munich, also known as HB Beer Hall, where we once again witnessed the German obsession with beer. No matter men, women and children, everyone has a large glass of beer. Just watching it makes people feel very excited.
Next, I went to Schloss Nymphenburg (Nymphenburg Palace), and the China Consulate is next to Nymphenburg Palace. This is a typical baroque palace. In fact, the palace is very small, but the garden area is very large. Runbao especially likes to stay by the clear lake, play with the black swan and white swan who come ashore to ask tourists for snacks, and watch the baby carefully try to touch the picture of the white swan. I think it is very beautiful.
On the thirteenth day, it rained and there was no way to go outdoors. As the baby is very love the water, we unanimously decided to take him swimming. The swimming pool we went to was called Tremini. Although it is not very big, there are two children's play areas suitable for different ages, as well as a sauna area and a swimming area. The whole feeling is very warm. It turned out that we made a super correct decision, because not only the baby, but also adults were there to relax and everyone was very happy.
On day 14, I drove to Regensburg, mainly to see Varhala. Varhala Temple is located on the Danube River, ten kilometers east of regensburg. It was built in 1830-1842 and ordered by Bavarian king Ludwig I. It is a neoclassical building. I don't have any special feelings for temples, but the beautiful Danube River in front of the temples attracted me deeply. I have traveled all over the corner, trying to freeze its beauty, but none of them are satisfied. Only that beauty can be engraved in my heart forever.
On the fifteenth day, it was still rainy and there were no other indoor activities to choose from, so I went to the Victory Thermoerding Hotel recommended by my godfather. This place is a paradise hotel, but unfortunately we don't need to stay here. I don't know what the room is like. The swimming facilities alone are complete, modern and fashionable. The first place we went was the water park, where the baby had a good time. Later, I went to SPA, surfing, sauna and other areas to feel it. I really feel that I am too old to realize it for a day.
On the sixteenth day, I played too high the day before. On this day, I think I should have a rest. By the way, I also helped the little god collect the apples in the garden. This trip feels that the baby has grown up a lot, picking apples like an adult and knowing how to put them into the box gently.
On the seventeenth day, the goddess of Eva recommended to see the Freilicht Museum. As soon as I heard that it was a farmer's museum or an open-air museum, I decided to go and have a look. The museum is really open-air According to Godfather Baby, this museum brings together the houses of most farmers in the historical process of their country, and there are also corresponding exhibits in the houses. These houses were all moved from other places to rebuild, and now there are still houses coming in, so I find new houses every time I come, which makes me feel incredible. I thought it would be boring for Runbao not to be interested in museums. In fact, he found his own pleasure there, either barking at the cow "Cleisthenes" or "baa" at the goat. He especially likes watching tourists bowling in the tourist lounge. Whenever he sees a bowling ball knocked down, his laughter makes everyone giggle.
On day 18, we went to see the so-called mining museum on the recommendation of our friends. In fact, the name of the museum we went to is Deutsches Museum, which is located on the museum island by the Issa River, and you can reach it by going east along the Issa Gate. German Museum, the full name of "German Museum of Natural Science and Technology", is the largest museum of natural science and technology in the world, and it is also a master of the development history of German science and technology. * * * has more than 28,000 pieces of various exhibits, which is the highest enjoyment of technology lovers. Even if it is a cursory visit, it is difficult to see all the exhibits in one day. The coal mine museum I just mentioned is actually just a small branch. Runbao and his godfather like the Maritime Museum best, so we played there several times to make them have fun.
On the nineteenth day, the scenery we saw on this day was so beautiful that Rundad and I both felt that we had entered a paradise. Our main sightseeing place is called Hertzog Stan, which was Ludwig II's favorite place. Therefore, the mountain was named after his title Herzog (Duke). The Hertzog Stein cable car can carry tourists up to 65,438+0,600 meters to Heimgarden. This is the first time my family Runbao has taken a cable car. He looked around curiously and kept shouting "Wow" excitedly. ...
On the twentieth day, because we had to catch a plane early the next morning, we used this day to pack our bags and rest. I have been out for a long time, but I still miss the domestic food. However, none of us have the culture shock problem we were worried about before. Maybe it's because our family has been together, we don't miss our relatives, and we don't feel lonely. But I think the more reason is that every day of this trip is full and happy, and there is no room for cultural shock. Because we all enjoyed our time here, we will definitely come again in the future when we have time.
? postscript
Facts have proved that it is not as difficult as we thought to take children to travel abroad. As long as they are fully prepared, it is completely feasible to adjust their itinerary according to their children's itinerary. Children's adaptability is far stronger than we thought. It can even be said that children love to travel more than adults, because they are at a curious age, like to explore everything around them, and can notice details that adults don't pay much attention to. On the contrary, as adults, our travel is more or less utilitarian, because our interest in taking photos and drying our circle of friends seems to be far greater than our concern for the scenic spots themselves, including myself.
However, the travel I refer to here is not a "tour" with the team, but an "experiential travel" that is completely integrated into local life, that is, "living in a different place" as the saying goes. Since it is life, of course, we should cook, wash clothes, buy food, take out the garbage and study, and try our best to keep the same pace of life as in China, so that adults and children will not have any major discomfort.
I use my own personal experience to prove that children can also become good travel companions as long as they are well planned, flexible and reasonable in pace.
