The mundane preparations

Now that the car is ready and the route has been announced. Its time for the tedious and costly part, booking ferry and accomodations for each check point.

Here is the route:

Day 0 : (28th August), Dover to Calais (France). Check in.
Day 1: (29th August), Interlaken (Switzerland).
Day 2: (30th August), Bormio (Italy).
Day 3: (31st August), Salzburg (Austria).
Day 4: (1st September), Prague (Czech Republic). Check out.

We have booked the ferry. The hostels for the start and end leg has been booked. The other 3 stop off points needs hotel booking, but we are confident that it will be done by the time we set off. Otherwise a tent is our contingency plan - what do you mean, we haven't got a tent!

We also need to sort out travel and car insurance for the trip. The driving rules for each of the countries have been downloaded from the AA website. Need to make sure we are clear on it.
Also need to prepare a list of do's and don'ts for each country.
