So we are thinking about our trip this year, probably heading off in late May and like previous years will be away for anything up to 6 weeks or longer. (For those of you not yet retired - spend 5 or 10 minutes each day thinking about ways you can retire earlier - if you don't you won't).
Anyway, ew can't make our minds up whether to head for the Balkans or the Baltics (Lithuania, Estonia and Latvia). One thought is to get across the channel and head roughly east until we hit the edge of the EU, so southern Poland or Slovakia and then based on what the weather looks like doing head north or south.
Heading south looks like there are more ACSI sites around but heading north feels like it would be more interesting (we were in Slovenia and norther Croatia last year.)
Heading north we could come back via Helsinki and Stockholm - lot's of miles and extra expense for the ferries but heading south we can come back through Italy and the Dolomites (and fill up with wine and other treats).
I know beer and wine are expensive in Sweden - is it cheap in the Baltics and Poland? Not that that matters of course ;-)
I know loads of people on the forum will have done the Balkans (tips appreciated of course) but has anyone done the Baltics?
