My trip to Eastern Europe (20-26 October 2002) was with a group of ladies (plus a male representative from Malaysia Airlines ;p). The trip was awesome. The shopping was great. The food was delicious. The scenery was breathtaking.. Need I go on? Hehe..
We went to 7 cities - Salzburg, Innsbruck, Munich, Karlovy Vary, Praque, Budapest and Vienna. A total of 4 countries within 7 days - Austria, Germany, Czech Republic, Hungary.. We also passed by Slovakia enroute to one of the cities. No stop over unfortunately..
The full-board tour back then was pretty cheap. I can't remember the exact price.. but if I'm not mistaken it costs around RM3.8k per pax (twin-sharing).
My favourite city for this tour is Praque. Beautiful city with great crystal shopping experience :)
We went during autumn. Coming from a country with only 2 seasons (rain or shine ;p).. needless to say.. we went goo-goo-ga-ga when we first saw the colourful leaves and snow-capped mountain.
Frankly even until now, I'm still having 50:50 thoughts on which season is better for a holiday.. spring or autumn? Both actually have its own charm..
If you're interested, I've posted 136 photos of this tour in my facebook account.
