Not so bad, the door is open if you get tested on departure or arrival will do away with isolation requirement.

It doesn’t quite work like that.
Currently following a chap who is travelling to Greece. He entered Germany last week and had a test. Waited 3 days without moving from the car park for the result on his phone, no result available so he continued his journey. Could not get any answers from any help line, or the app. He is currently in Italy 12 days later and still no results. The German system either doesn’t work or they only contact positive cases.

Hmmm.. My planned 4 week snowboarding trip driving to Austria via Germany (last 2 weeks in November, first 2 weeks in December) is looking even less likely...... Bugger!

The other issue is local rules. Hotels can reject bookings or turn people away if they do not have a safe home address. We were initially told by a campsite 10 days ago that they regrettably could not accept our booking as England was high risk. I pointed out that it was only NW England on the RKI website, they relented. In June we were staying in a hotel near Morelo. It was around the time of the German meat packing outbreak. They told me they had been instructed to refuse all bookings from certain German postcodes. He had to call a family already in their car travelling to tell them he could not accept them.
So be careful out there! We are in Aachen just now on the Tunnel tomorrow!

Surely you can transit Germany Without quarantine, it’s Austria that wants a test or 10 day quarantine if you stay there. If you transit within 24 hrs no q. This was the case few weeks ago.

Hotel-Restaurant Zur Heide GmbH Co

Just had a great supper and free to stay in their car park. Get here early afternoon before hotel and dinner guests fill the car park. Nice people.

Yep, that's true....but.....

........ I haven't been allowed to travel outside of my local authority area since the 28th September and tomorrow (23rd October) a 17 day lockdown starts for the whole country (Wales)

Plus, there is no knowing what restrictions will be in force after the lockdown ends.........but as per usual, I just keep smiling through

Stay safe people & just as important important: keep smiling






PS Common sense says not to travel, so unless things dramatically change, I ain't going. I don't think this pandemic is the time to say "Let's see how we can bend and twist the rules to so we can selfishly use our boxes on wheels"

Remember - it's only motorhoming ​

Hi Jon,
Yes we were there for nearly 2 weeks after escaping from Italy and Sicily early. Now just entering France for the tunnel later. I planned to avoid the risk of Germany being added to the list yesterday but that didn't happen.
Sorry to have missed you we could have stayed longer!
Have a safe trip.
Michael
