ITALIAN GENEALOGY

Cancelling a Eurotunnel Booking

 

I have had to cancel a return trip on Eurotunnel [Car + 2 + Dog], as I have to go into hospital for an op.

The booking was 'non-refundable'.

IMU - Its still around

 

I thought this had disappeared in the new tax system, but my Comune website says the first payment for 2014 is due by 16th June

 

Looks like the days of the easy/cheap trip to italy through Switzerland are numbered. 

Apparently, the Swiss government has decided to raise the cost of the vignette to 100 Swiss Francs for 2015. 

Petrol prices in France are now comparable with the UK, except on the French Autoroutes.

For a change this year we drove down to Italy via Besancon  [avoiding most tolls by taking some good french non-motorways.]

Can you help?
I've just completed making a 'variation' of Limoncello.

I know it's several years ago, but we bought the flatpack beds and rolled up foam mattresses from IKEA.  They fitted in the car for transporting to our house 

Drove back last week from Italy to UK

Switzerland  - no restrictions

France - few restrictions,  mainly masks on Public Transport

United Kingdom - No restrictions, or checks on entry (even if not vaccinated)

Go to your local super/hypermarket and buy some bags of pellets there.

This may help.

Don't give up.   Talk to the Comune if the limits in modicasa's post below are being exceeded . That's what I would do. 

 

Not sure - it could be.

Sad to say that when I have a question like that, I talk to my bilingual italian friend. 

He understands the 'Italian Mentality' and can deal with such things for me.

The comune is the local council.

Looks like French travel restrictions on UK residents may be lifted this weekend.  (We live in hope!)

Not sure you can do it in February, the French suspension of the transit rule could well be time limited - "over the New Year period " according to Sky News
