Asking for Advice
There have been several threads in this section where Novices have asked for advice after they've committed themselves to unrealistic plans and timescales. The distances involved in European travel don't seem to be appreciated by us small-island dwellers.
We once met a nice intelligent couple on a site near Alicante who said they wanted to visit Pompei "while we're here". They had 3 weeks to go before they went home, so we advised them to change their plan.
We mustn't dent the enthusiasm of those plucking up the courage to set off to the 'Continent', driving on the wrong side, and coping with foreign languages: those of you who have done it know it's easy once you take the plunge!
This is a great forum for free, informed advice on overseas travel: keep up the good work!
