Just looking at planning the journey and wondered if the Wischhafen-Gluckstadt ferry is worth taking instead of driving all the way around Hamburg???? Can a motorhome easily get on/off??
well the ferry is easy to access and worth every penny , did it last september while doing my northsea tour. expect waiting times at the ferry harbour up to an hour
in the high season. other times 20-30 minutes.
the ferry fee was 13.5 Euro for my old camel
guess your carthago is below 8meters , it`ll cost 16.- Euro then.
We are spending 3-4 months in Germany starting at the beginning of April. We intend to start at the north and work our way down to the south and then into Austria and Switzerland.
We have no particular route planned at this stage.
One thing I would be grateful for is advice on a prepaid tariff on mobile internet either for an Ipad or iPhone. Can a none-German resident buy a prepaid sim card to put into your own device to use for browsing the internet.
I would have translated it for you , but I am a bit short on time....
My HER is quite resolute whenever I exaggerate my approved computer-time
as far as I know everyone who`s paying the fees is welcome
There are several other offers ( pro 7 , rtl , tcom , 1&1 )
but the big advantage of Aldi is , the easy access . there`s almost no town without an Aldi-supermarket
my regards
Jan

Hi dipper
We go to Europe every Spring for 2/3 months and visit mainly Germany. Austria and Holland. though we have done 13 countries over the last 8 years with an 8 metre caravan. We at that time of year always use the ACSI Camping Card for our camp sites. Have a look at my website www.joysoeuopeancaravanning.co.uk you might get a few tips from it.
Having a Motor Home I expect you use Aires and Stellplatz which I have no knowledge on. We do travel with friends who have MH's and they do use campsites so thought our travels might help you.
I take my laptop with me and find most camp sites in Europe have WiFi mostly available in the van. In can be from Free to 1 euro per hour which is probably cheaper than using mobile internet.
Cheers Dianne

Thanks for the info, I have bought Bordatlas Deutschland 2012 from Vicarious Books, it came with a free copy of Bordatlas Europa 2012. All set for touring Germany May/ June this year now
We were wondering where to go for 10 days - and thanks to you, it will be the Harz. We are fans of North Germany ( OH has relatives in Elsfleth near Oldenburg) and looking at the Rough Guide, there is plenty to see and do in this new-to-us region of Germany.
And lots of places to stay in Bordatlas.
High on the list will be Quedlinburg with the entire town being a World Heritage site and 1600 buildings listed.
Then Wernigerode and a ride around the region on the narrow gauge railways.
The Bode valley sounds wonderful for walking.
I don't think 10 days will be enough...and we'll see what the weather is doing around 23 April.
By the way, Jan, we loved the spa atmBad Duerrheim last summer. Are there any good modern ones up North?
All the best on your travels in the UK. We are London based - give us a shout if you're around.
well , when touring the Harz area , you should risk a stopover at Bad Lauterberg , there you find the Kirchberg Thermal bath (SPA).
I spent a recreation period over there in 2001 , good place.
We were up in Cuxhaven on our 'big trip' round Europe. We crossed the Elbe on our way to Denmark. On our way back from Italy a few months later, we came through the Black Forest.
We've covered quite a lot of Germany over the years since my husband lived in Braunschweig in the 1980s. Any country with great beer and great bread has to be worth a visit in my book!
