Scottish 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.For very inexpensive travel, the Scottish Youth Hostels Association lists about 100 hostels where a member or affiliate member may lodge for 1/6 or 2s. a night, this being a top figure of 28 cents. Bus travel throughout Scotland, it may be added, costs very little.
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). |
