motoring from UK

[rowan]

We drove here from the UK almost eight years ago and I think things will have changed since then. Would be interested in hearing from anyone who has done the journey recently, particularly the rough route. Many thanks

We drove out last year in our 1989 campervan via France, Berlin, Poland, Slovakia, Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria, Turkey crossing at Canakkale then Tasucu to Girne. Great trip apart from roads in Romania which are quite rough in parts and glad we did it.

We have to make the return trip this June and it will be the same route up to Romania but then across through Hungary to Austria, Germany, France and UK.

Would thoroughly recommend driving out here.

I thought vinaigrette was a salad dressing !

Is that the name of the visa you need?

Possibly 'Vignette', and most likely, in this instance, referring to road tax, a small, colored sticker affixed to motor vehicles in some European nations to indicate road tolls have been paid.

Slovenia
Vignettes are required for all vehicles of up to 3.5 tons, driving on Slovenian motorways as of July 1, 2008. Drivers without a valid vignette are charged with cash fines between €300 and €800. Heavier vehicles use existing tollgates.

Where and how do you get them... thinking of a trip next year!
