Phil, we're driving cos we've got lots of stuff to take over to our house. I'm looking forward to it, but will be in a van, so maybe not as comfy a drive as it might be? Red tape, well, Eileen has been a great help as I asked her for info on routes about a year ago. (we have planned this for a long time.) So, thanks Eileen. Philippa was also very helpful, by posting on this thread. Thanks Philippa. I wouldn't have known about the tax if I hadn't seen it here, but it was relatively easy to find out how to get it, once I knew.
Kevin, I suppose there will be an embassy, but i think I know all I need now. Thanks.
We're driving over in April, before the holiday season begins. It would be nice to have some sunshine for the week tho.
