Backpacker Tip: Consider a “Busabout” adventure
2008-01-11 18:57:00 If you’re the kind of Cheapo who prefers a rollicking “hostel environment” to a quiet mom-and-pop hotel, you should consider a Busabout bus tour of Europe, if you’re traveling during the summer months. What is it? Busabout operates a “hop on hop off” bus line that shuttles young and indie travelers along “loops” of major European cities. You purchase a loop pass (for $639) and are bused about from one city to the next — usually about 12 cities per loop. You can get off at any of these cities and stay as long as you like, and then hop on the next bus that drives through town. (A bus passes through all 30 cities every other day from May 4 through October 30.) You can book each of these stops in advance through their website to ensure that you’ll have a seat on the bus. For example: The “Western Loop” takes you along the following path: Paris - Bern - Nice - Avignon - Barcelona - Valencia - Madrid - San...
