German term or phrase: Badeplausch
This refers to an "add-on" at the end of an organised tour eg. a fortnight spent touring a country followed by a couple of days "Badeplausch" on the coast. Simply "lazy days on the beach"? I'm sadly lacking inspiration :-(

Asker: Thank you for your suggestion. I think a seaside sojourn sounds wonderful, the way it just rolls off the tongue. However, it sadly didn't seem to fit my text - hopefully it will fit another one some other day ;-)
