Quick update.
Previously I mentioned the Polish attraction I had booked, whose dates I have been able to move. Well, after over 2 years of shuffling the dates back and back, and within sight of the finishing line, the buggers have gone and changed their booking system, meaning I can no longer move the booking back beyond 31st December. 😒 What this means is, as there is no refund, they will finally get away with my £33 'donation'! A quick look at the new booking site shows you can only book 3 months in advance, so the new booking will be on the back burner till the end of March. It also shows a price increase of about £12 too!
Having completed the rebooking of hotels, as mentioned in the previous post, I have already changed a couple of them, for something more suitable, which generally means with cheaper or more secure parking. That's always a high priority for me. One of my biggest bugbears with Booking.com, is the listings that say there is parking but when you dig down, it's at a public car park up the road. Not what you want with a motorcycle. It's got to be on site and we're always prepared to pay for secure parking, where available.
I've been through the routes again and tweaked where necessary and I've had a quick look at the cost of Eurotunnel, which is now about £30 more than it was when we first planned to cross in 2020. The service won't be any better though, you can bet that. The only other option would be to go across on the ferry but it takes a lot longer and the fares aren't massively different anyway. If we could get the ferry crossings and a night in a hotel for less than the tunnel, I'd consider going over the night before but that's extremely unlikely.
That's all for now.
