What’s number one on you MH bucket list this year? (1 Viewer)

[SmithsInFrance]

Did you find a spot to stay anywhere near the Dali museum in Figueres?

Last time we went it was for the day and in a car. Have started to look for somewhere but not looking very good so might just go for the day in the MH and overnight somewhere else unless anyone has any other ideas?
Edit: oops should have read the later posts sorry. Some good suggestions there ?

EmnM at the risk of incurring a wrath of those who might know otherwise, nothing changes re licences, insurance and pet passports till 31st Dec 2020. That is my understanding of it so you might have been wrongly advised my insurance company said no green card needed till Dec 31 2020. Now wait for the raft of what everyone else has been told!

We are going over the Channel next week so I phoned my insurance company. They said I needed a green card after 31st Jan. That was arranged but then I got worried. I went on the dvla sight and was told I need an international driving permit in France but not Spain. Thank goodness I checked before travel. Likely not to be checked but for £5.50 was worth it for peace of mind.

I’ve just read the page. That applies only if we leave without a deal. My understanding is that we’re still aiming for a deal so hopefully will be in the Transition year so nothing will change.
Positive to see that Spain and Germany aren’t asking for an IDP so we’ll only need one, rather than two.

My understanding is:- Jan 31st, we LEAVE the EU (SSR). BUT during the period up to and including the end of December, we are in a "transition" phase, during which negotiation will take place to finalise the "deal" (or not). In that period the current status is retained (after all we ARE paying some 38billion for the "privilege"). Now if any one KNOWS different. Please Advise.

To be able to actually have time to use it - work keeps getting in the way ???

 

[EmnM]

Sorry PeteH and Grianan but I would rather listen to what the insurance company said and the Post Office said rather than your “understanding”. As I said, better peace of mind than misunderstanding.

Your insurers?. and the Post office?. Well, whatever? The insurance "industry" is doing what it does best (arse covering), I worked in said industry for 20 years almost!. The post office are giving conflicting information over green cards. depending on who is asked. However, the BBC`s Travel Guru, went to the Foreign Office, and was advised similarly to that which I posted #97. And was confident enough to state that on Breakfast T-V?. Soooo?.

Ignoring the tone of the response ? ... I do wonder if it’s because they’re leaving before 31st January. The WTA (is that what it’s called?) is not passed yet do there is a window of possibility for a crash out.
We’re not heading abroad till the summer so I’m expecting things will be clear by then - at least for this year.

I’m going Friday 24th. France here we come. Then onto Spain. Clear in the knowledge that I have adhered to all legal requirements at that point. Enjoy. And wind your neck in. We are all trying to enjoy this Motorhome life! Which I have for 15 years. Just trying to pass on important information.

I was battle fielded out by my late father in law but the Menin Gate is in my bucket list too.
I’d also like to take my kids back to see their Great great uncles’ graves/memorial inscriptions.
Powerful reminder of the need for diplomacy in a fractious world.

Was on site in Spain some years back, 2 Full German shepherds, had the Huge Garage on a German Hymer to themselves!. I got the impression they actually travelled in there too. Although my German conversationally is far too rusty and limited to be sure.

 

[The Coops]

A Newfie!! You could always get a smaller dog that hates water and wont drool everywhere. but why would you!
