Today my sister booked our next vacation. I haven't been away since January 2020 and my sister's last vacation that wasn't stay at home was even longer ago. So we decided to splurge. We've booked an "extra deluxe" cottage for six people. We thought we would save some money by booking a deluxe cottage for four people, but we would save less than €50. And the upgrade is worth that money. We decided to go for two weeks. The first time since high school I have more than one week off!
We're staying fairly close to home, about a 30 minute drive. It's near another park I've stayed at twice. And it's really near the forest we used to go hiking with our grandparents and where my grandmother's ashes are scattered. It's also near a supermarket where we can order online and book a slot for curb side pick up. Hopefully that isn't necessary anymore by then, but it's a good option to have.
The park offers electrical bike rental, we know from experience that it's a hilly area. Our fancy cottage has a washing machine and dryer (a must for a 2 week stay), a Quooker (a fancy tap that can also provide boiling water), "wellness room" with sauna and steam cabin, a wok burner on the stove and some fun electronics. It's hard to plan what we're going to do, since we don't know what's possible in six months time. But we have decided to bring a bunch of board games and plan some hiking trips.
The best thing is to have something to look forward after more than a year of Covid-19. Maybe we're not going to be able to go out sightseeing or going on shopping trips in nearby towns, but we're away and we'll have fun.
