Christ’s Ascension

Every year, Ascension Day falls on a Thursday. Many people call the holiday Father’s Day, Men’s Day or Men’s Day, because it has become established over time that men go on bike rides or other excursions on that day. If you treat yourself to a day off on Friday, you can look forward to a little time off for four days, and for even more relaxation, you can also apply for a vacation for the three days before Ascension Day, so that you don’t have to work for nine days in a row.

And there’s no shortage of bathing fun either, with reliable sunshine and dry weather on the Cape Verde Islands in May. Another hot tip, on the Canary Islands it is usually not quite as crowded in May, because the many winter and Easter travelers are no longer there, bathing fun is here at around 20 ° water temperature.

 

Whitsun

You can use Whit Monday for four days of vacation and you don’t have to go to work for nine days. Without a vacation, Whit Monday provides a long weekend all over Germany. Whit Monday is in 2023 on 29 May.

The best time to travel is from the end of May in many parts of Indonesia, such as Bali. Thailand fans should consider the Gulf Islands Koh Samui, Phangan and Tao for a beach vacation in June. Mauritius is not quite as warm, but also rather dry at this time.

 

German Unity Day

So quickly the summer is already over in Germany, time for the golden October. Also in 2023, the Day of German Unity on October 3, 2023 is during the week on a Tuesday. That offers itself after the long dry spell at holidays nevertheless perfectly for a vacation day and thus four work-free days, if you were thrifty with vacation, haut nevertheless on the putz, treat yourselves four vacation days and thereby nine free days recovery without work stress.

Since the Weihnchatsmann means it in 2023 particularly well with us and gives four free days, without having to use also only one vacation day. What’s with the stinginess at the end of the year, get all your free time out again, grab three vacation days before your work colleagues do and have 12/23/2013 to 01/01/2014 off!
