International Youth Hostels: If your budget bids you look for drastically low-priced lodgings you may heed its wishes without apprehension. In almost any city you may shop around and find a plain but clean room for as little as a dollar; and in Youth Hostels (a booklet about them is to be had; check with American Youth Hostels, 6 East 39th St., New York) a bed is to be had, as I have been told, for 50 pfennigs, which is—12 cents! There are about 660 hostels in Germany.Cycling and the use of youth hostels make a super-thrift combination that can keep your travel costs to the shoestring level. Remember, Belgium is one of the Low Lands, in fact as well as in name, so your pedaling muscles don't have to cope with hills except in the Ardennes. As for lodging, even if you disregard the next-to-free youth hostels, you will find simple but clean accommodations in hundreds of hotels for 80 francs a day, which is $1.60, and nourishing, if unexciting, meals may be had for 40 francs (80 cents).
Youth hostels, in the country, will give you a bed for 30 to 40 cents and meals for about the same price apiece; which leads me to mention a youth hostel ship, named Chapman, moored in Stockholm at the quay of Skeppsholmen Island, opposite the Old City. It is open to all members of the international youth hostels Youth Hostel Federation and also to anyone who can show the special identification card issued by the Swedish Touring Club at a low price. Meals are taken at a snack bar in the ship. |
