Make sure that you put on the hi viz before you get out of the car as the police have been known to pull people over and do them if they get out and then put the vest on.

You can'tget away with speeding, even speed cameras as the European goverments share registration details.

Use 98E5, our cars don't like anything less, messed up the fuel system on my F on 95E10.

Allow longer than you think to get there, it always takes longer.

Make sure you have installed local mapping on your devices before you leave, otherwise you'll only have main roads installed, this includes most sat navs as well.

Take a plug adaptor.

Check you have a card, ideally a credit card that will work. Even if you take cash you need to be covered for emergencies.

Less shops ars open in the evenings, most are closed on Sunday. You can only get cigs in Tobacconists or most motorway service stations.

Lastly and most important - enjoy.
