      In the Netherlands, if you wanted to take more than 3 weeks, everybody got nervous/angry. Here 4* weeks is absolutely normal. Some combine it with parental leave. Every year there are a few that take somewhere between 6 - 10 weeks and NO ONE blinks an eye.

      where

      Common answers here: Home, day trips, a week Öland.

      ( * a 4 week holiday in the period jun,jul,aug is a right by law )

      We go on holiday, plenty if people have summer homes, many others just go for trips through out Europe and abroad, still others just stay at home and relax.

      My large vacation is in August, I am making plans to head to Germany with my dad, we are looking at taking a trip in an airship, stop by Wuppertal and ride their awesome trains, then visit the technology museums in Speyer and Simsheim.

      Then when I get back home to Sweden, me and a friend will will head down to Linköping to attend the large airshow hosted by the Swedish Air Force to celebrate 100 years.

      We both have excellent cameras with excellent lenses (his slightly more excellent than mine), and hope to get some great shots.
