i have worked out my costs to be a maximum of £850 and that includes everything from fuel, ferry crossings, hotel, ring passes, food and beer. it will probably be a lot cheaper but that is what i have allowed for.
insurance. i have just gone on my standard car insurance but i did ring them and they confirmed that i am covered in germany on unrestricted toll roads

at the moment it is possible we are looking at the weekend of the 16th and 17th april but this is still to be confirmed( mike has it in hand)
