I will not change mine lights at all because of day time driving

In czech you have to legally have lights on 24/7 in Czech. But during the day I guess it won't matter too much. Last trip I used a couple of squares of duck tape to mimick the areas masked off. This year I'll have the proper covers.

It won't be daylight for the first few hours of the trip.

In this case I will have them on in Czech but still not changed and no tape!

I'm planning on bringing a roll of duck tape all being well. Will happily donate squares to those wanting some. :)

I'll be fitting my converters at Dover whilst queuing for the ferry. I'll likely swap to my special continental plates at the same time :D

Thanks devo , but whem I go abroad I drive durring the night (the roads are not so busy) and nowbody stoped me for this light converting reason

Loking forward to meet you and the silver fabia:thumbup: !

Trying to refresh my memory about CZ plugs -came across this and ruthlessly copy/pasted it. Hope it's of use

Time zone

The Czech Republic lies in the GMT +1 time zone, usually referred to as Central European Time (CET). The clocks are changed by one hour creating winter time and summer time (GTM + 2).

Climate

Geographically speaking, the Czech Republic is situated in a temperate zone, and there are four seasons of approximately all the same length. Winters are relatively mild (the average January temperature is -2

Have we got a final list of who (and what cars) are going on the trip now?

OK guys and gals, this is the place that Petr has booked for us on the Friday night Los V Oslu

We are also making arrangements to go to another place on the Saturday night which all are welcome (another PM is on it's way to you all) which is a great drinking/restaurant location close to Wencelas Square. This should be a GREAT evening ;) ..... U Pinkasu

Both places look great but Petr assures me that U Pinkasu is not to be missed :)

The menu of in the first place looks really appetising. At leasts it's not 'top international cuisine' like what you see on any high street in the uk.

What about Wednesday and Thursday night :P is it a sandwich in our hotel rooms :D

The above nights out look good :thumbup:

Weds & Thurs are fend for ourselves days I imagine. Thursday is kind of a "do what you want" day with the offer of the brewery tour, which I plan to do. Also need some good grub on the sunday night to see us right for the journey home the next morning. :)

Is the food compulsory ?, because I try to lose weight:D

Knowing where you're coming from - Don't drink the guinness over there. It's not especiallt the best, and is damned expensive. Try out the local brews. They're pretty nice. :drunk:

Food also is very nice and plenty of it for the price you pay, so put off the diet till you get back.

I know about the food , that is why I try to lose what I have eat last month in Europe (east european food + beer)

It is hard to stay away from them !

I'm pretty sure this is the up to date list (just hope I have not missed anyone! :o)

I'm starting to regret letting you come on this trip already! :rolleyes:

Miss K has her ferry crossing booked in my car so she will be with me and Chris through ferry check in. After that I dont care who travels with who!

Well, I will have the back seats spare should anyone wish to slum it for some of the trip across the continent. :) You'll have to put up with a loud exhaust and my classic trance trying to drown it out. :P

Yes, you heard that right - I will have "back seats" in for the trip. :rofl:
