A woman from Macclesfield, Cheshire, flew to Berlin for a day trip costing just over £100 and returned home in time for bed. Natasha Blanthorn, 26, a college marketing manager, set off from Manchester at 6:20am on 8 November and landed back in the UK at 8.20pm, allowing her to be in bed by 10pm.
Natasha spent the day sightseeing on a budget, joining a walking tour and visiting the Topography of Terror museum. Despite only getting four hours of sleep, she covered many iconic sites, including Hitler's Bunker, Checkpoint Charlie, and the Brandenburg Gate, clocking up 25,000 steps.
The total cost came to £102.07, with return flights at £38, a train ticket for £8.30, a walking tour for £14.17, and car parking for £11.60. She took only hand luggage and ate at McDonald's to save time. Natasha said the trip was 'not for the faint-hearted' but she loved every second.
This was not her first 'extreme day trip', and she plans to return to Berlin to explore the East Side Gallery. She noted that a train from London to Glasgow at lunchtime costs £130.80, more than her entire trip.
