We at Belvilla have asked around about a few&nbsp;<strong>fun facts<\/strong>&nbsp;for your enlightenment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the most unusual things that many German holidays seem to think should not be missing from the contents of your&nbsp;<strong>suitcase<\/strong>&nbsp;is the&nbsp;<strong>personal travel pillow<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For 31% of&nbsp;<strong>Germans<\/strong>, this fluffy companion is absolutely indispensable as a head and neck support for&nbsp;<strong>long car journeys,<\/strong>&nbsp;air travel, or train journeys. would you have guessed? Perhaps you would. Especially if you like your creature comforts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Smell the coffee and stay awake<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Whereas the&nbsp;<strong>personal travel pillow<\/strong>&nbsp;might help to put you to sleep, a nice cup of&nbsp;<strong>coffee&nbsp;<\/strong>can keep you wide awake to enjoy some of the great sights you will encounter on your journey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It may be short on fluffiness, but intense, bitter, or mild \u2013 whole beans or ground \u2013 with a 21% pick-me-up ability,&nbsp;<strong>coffee<\/strong>&nbsp;comes in in second place of the most unusual travel must-haves for the&nbsp;<strong>German&nbsp;<\/strong>traveller while wending their way to their&nbsp;<strong>Belvilla holiday home<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Chocolate hazelnut heaven<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>While the Brits might be partial to their Kit Kats and Mars bars, the Germans adore sweeties made with&nbsp;<strong>chocolate hazelnut cream<\/strong>. Sweet and creamy, this much-loved spread has become an indispensable part of the breakfast table for many Germans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>8% of Germans 4th voted this sweet delight into 4th place on the list of weird and wonderful packing essentials. It helps them to arrive at their&nbsp;<strong>Belvilla holiday home&nbsp;<\/strong>destination in the best frames of mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">On your bike<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re going on a biking or touring holiday, why fall into the trap of having to hire a&nbsp;<strong>bike<\/strong>? Leastways that is the thinking of many of our&nbsp;<strong>German<\/strong>&nbsp;friends. You might have problems fitting a&nbsp;<strong>bike<\/strong>&nbsp;into your suitcase, but you can always mount one or more on the back or roof of your car, providing you have the right gear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One thing is certain \u2013 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.belvilla.com\/blog\/bike-riding-holidays\/\">cycling<\/a> holidays have been more popular than ever since the pandemic, so just like as the Boy Scout motto says, be prepared.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A Good luck charm<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Do you carefully avoid walking under ladders or cross the road every time you see a black cat? People have some of the craziest&nbsp;<strong>superstitions,<\/strong>&nbsp;and the&nbsp;<strong>German<\/strong>&nbsp;holidaymaker is no exception.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We know of one&nbsp;<strong>German<\/strong>&nbsp;traveller who always takes his&nbsp;<strong>lucky dollar&nbsp;<\/strong>with him where ever he goes \u2013 including on the journey to his&nbsp;<strong>Belvilla holiday home<\/strong>. Kids might take a beloved toy, and dads might wear their lucky socks. What would be your personal lucky talisman?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whatever your&nbsp;<strong>superstitions<\/strong>, if you have them, they need to be listened to \u2013 especially when you\u2019re going on holiday and are traveling to your&nbsp;<strong>Belvilla holiday home<\/strong>. Make sure Lady Luck is smiling at you., and always&nbsp;<strong>travel in comfort<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All these little bits and pieces can make all the difference to your journey. Travelling in comfort and packing all the things you might need on your holiday will help to ensure you get the best out of your vacation experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These factual findings are based on
