Most American tourists now
seem to visit Europe as part of a
highly organized tour.
Certainly there are many advan-
tages in this method of travel.
There will be no language difficul-
ty-with luck you may nct have
to speak to anybody who has not
learned some English. or will there
be any danger of wasting even a
single day.
* * *
SURROUNDED by the same
twenty or thirty people every day
of the trip, there will be no chance
of being lonely, or of missing any-
thing-anything at all. If you pho-
tograph constantly and keep a di-
ary, it may even be possible to
distinguish one memory from an-
other after returning home.
If you want to save money,
however, do as you like and get
to know something of the people
who live in Europe. If you do
not mind extricating yourself
from occasional minor difficul-
ties, it is much better to travel
independently.
Prices in Europe are low. Only
in France, Belgium and Switzei -
land does living cost as much as
in America. In Britain, Italy, Hol-
land and Portugal prices are about#
twenty-five per cent lower; in Aus-
tria, Spain and Yugoslavia, per-
haps forty percent. Only cars and
gas tend to be more expensive. I
spent five weeks with two friends
last summer motoring from Lon-
don to Gibraltar and back, about
5,000 miles, sleeping out and
spending as little as possible, and
the trip cost about $130 each.
ON A CHEAP holiday it is usual-
ly possible to get a room for $1
a night, a meal for rather less.
Youth hostels are numerous and
mostly pleasant, although in parts
of France they can be quite hor-
rifying.
Camping is popular in Europe,
but generally more difficult as
you penetrate farther south and
bicycling also, although only ad-
visable in countries like England,
where distances are compara-
tively short. A car is a great as-
set, but self-drive hire costs from
$5 a day up. If you are staying
long it is better to buy one and
I
bring it home (many manufac-
turers pay the cost of transport-
ing it) or resell it on leaving.
In Europe the driver should be
adaptable. In France complex laws
lead everyone to believe they have
the right of way when the road
is not actually blocked by an ac-
cident. In Britain they drive on
the wrong side, in Italy on all
sides, for Switzerland you need
iron nerve and for Spain or Yu-
goslavia a jeep.
* * *
OTHERWISE the cheapest,
transport is by coach. Long dis-
tance trains are more frequent
than in America and as efficient,
except in Spain and Southern ie-
land, where railroad travel pro-
vides excellent opportunity for
really living with the native inhab-
itants.
All guidebooks recommend
hundreds of places you must
visit and contain much useful
information, but they have their
limitations. They all try to make
the best of their material. You
might not guess that Belgium,
for instance, apart from Bruges
and a green bit in the southeast
corner, looks rather like Detroit.
The books ignore the weather
when it suits them and will not

ing up the highest road in Europe
(in the Spanish Sierra Nevadas)

and the longest beach (in south-

constant 50 mph gale.
And when the guidebooks fail
completely, as in much of Spain,
Eire, Yugoslavia or southern Italy,
it is often an indication that while
the area is not a tourist one, be-
cause of bad roads or few hotels or
railroads, the scenery is unspoilt
and the people are interested in
talking to travelers. Anyone who
is not going to be disappointed
because foreign countries are un-
like his own and wants to get to
know them and the people who
live in them, should often avoid
the beaten track.
