Hi! My parents, 81 and 76 year old are traveling to europe for the first time this early september. They would be staying in UK for some time and wish to see paris and rome. My mother has problems in walking and while father is ok, does tend to get tired on long hauls.
I wanted to know whether it would be better for them to travel to continent by train or flight, what should be their schedule and whether they should join a group ( most of them do become hectic in Europe). They would like to spend at most 2-3 days at each site.
Any kind of experience or advice would be welcome.
Thanks
Vivek
i would suggest an organised bus tour as a big problem for your parents would be carrying their luggage. On a bus tour the cases are taken to people,s rooms and there is literally nothing to worry about, there is a huge range of bus tours available. On my last European bus tour there were a number of couples in that age group and they coped well. There is also usually a toilet on the bus.
What we did on some days on the aforesaid tour was spend an afternoon wandering around on our own rather than select every optional tour, this is a big mistake, too exhausting.
They would get more help taking the plane and saves all the hassle lugging luggage on and off trains. Maybe they will be better going at their own pace, if they're only staying a few days in each place, it's going to take it out of them.
if your parents home is not in europe get some kind of medical air evaculation coverage. that would cover most of the cost of having to transport a sick parent or the body of a deceased parent home.
there is a good one that a mr wolfe or me maxia recommends. they both are very good travel writters with tv shows . think it is called med air or air med.
I definitely agree with the person who said an all organized bus tour. Train or plane, the journey would be exhausting, and they probably actually need help with the luggage. The tours aren't as nice as experiencing things on one's own but they really do do everything for you, and for elderly people, that may be the most painless way to go.
I just want to share with you a web page www.paginegialle.it - it's really useful while looking for addresses of diffrent places, it can help also to find an internet address if the business has one.
Try it out when you will look for some info in Rome.
Unfortuantely it's only in Italian :(
Just take the 'ole suitcase on wheels. I also have a small backpack that has wheels, this I use for a daypack. It stands up which makes it easier to pack and to find things. It worked great on the tour bus and it works great on trains too. The small backpack can be strapped to the suitcase on wheels or be used as a regular backpack. I travelled the last week in March and the first week in April, early spring in Italy. It was rainy some days, cool others and very warm some days. To accommodate all the changes in climate, I took layers of t-shirts, sweaters and a windbreaker, and a lightweight leather coat that could be worn under my windbreaker for added warmth. It all worked out very well and I didn't need a long raincoat. As in nearly everywhere in Europe, you can purchase whatever you need. It may take sign language if you don't speak Italian. It took a few gestures pointing at my head, nose and throat, but the pharmacist gave me the right drug and it worked great.
For friendly help with finding that rare read you have been looking for, go to the English bookshop on Via di Ripetta, just off Piazza del Popolo. It had all the current best-sellers and two of the friendliest ladies helped me find the book I wanted.
In other words Trattoria Vecchia Roma is a wonderful restaurant in Roma
Its a little difficult to find it anyway its worthed.
Local food is excellent and some of the food is prepared on spot near you...something to remember..
The restaurant is situated in a cave and in general local people use to eat in this lovely restaurant.
I want to remind you that the metro is closed at 22:30 and if you are late you have to find other transport facilities. I suggest you to try the wine of the house " vino dela casa " red one is preferably
I love this place. It's more than casual dining, elegant with very courteous staff and good food.
They also have a fix (complete) menu at a very affordable price and yes, this place is very vegetarian friendly. Their complete menu should be enough with varied choices even for vegetarians.
