10 Tips for Those Long Trips

  1. Don’t just stop at the first place (garage/coffee shop/lodgings) when entering a town.  Travel a bit further – the best places are in town.
  2. Follow the 1 hour/120 km’s rule (stop at whichever one comes first).  You will never get a sore bum or lose concentration.
  3. When looking for accommodation in a small town, first visit their Info Centre.  They give excellent advice.
  4. If you have a GPS, also take along a proper map.  GPS’ can sometimes get it wrong.
  5. Eat breakfast.  It will sustain you, keep up your energy levels and make you last longer.
  6. Plan your trip, but don’t over-plan it.  Don’t make reservations in advance (unless it’s in season).  You may decide to change your route.
  7. Take cash for fuel.  Most petrol stations accept Debit and Garage Cards, but some small towns don’t.
  8. Take your time.  Don’t be afraid to stop and take a photo.  It’s the best way to treasure your memories.
  9. Take a good, colourful rain-suit.  It might not be your prettiest garment, but it is great for visibility in rainy weather.
  10. Do it with someone special.  It is a truly special experience that can only be shared with and treasured by someone close to your heart.
