Anyone used the Harwich to Hook of Holland ferry service? I'm hoping to drive down to the holiday home later this year, and was thinking of using the service.

There is an interesting article in today's G2 section of the Guardian newspaper by a woman who moved to Italy, founded a successful business, and has now moved back to the UK [but still has the business] because she missed LondonÌý

I don't think that there are any special checks between Italy and France
However, assuming you are in a UK registered car, the automatic number plate systemÌý may flag up that you're a Brit, and you could get pulled over just to check you've been in Europe long enough to avoid any speciaL requirements for UK citizens entering France.Ìý
( If you're in an ½ûÂþÌìÌà registered car, I wouldn't expect any stop at all,,)
Hope so - I was planning for the end of January,Ìý but I'm pretty sure that's not going to happen now.
At leastÌý we got over in November.
The problem is that France is banning entry to UK citizens from 11pm Friday.
Getting to Italy by road would mean completely avoiding France.
Useful, if you lose the passport- should ease things getting help at the embassy.
I also carry photocopy of Driving Licence.

In particular,Ìý see the bit about date of paper certificate.
I'd suggest you take a few photocopies of any paper certificates.Ìý They do show "COPY" faintly in a box, but you can't see it easily, and they still work.
Also photocopies of Passports, just in case

Interesting response, Clueless in Italy.
I've been reading some web entries about holiday home owners [non-resident] in France. easily getting their dogs an EU Passport
May try my luck with a friendly vet in Italy on our next doggie visit. - its worth a punt.

If you hold a paper driving licence or a driving licence from Gibraltar, Jersey, Guernsey or the Isle of Man, you may need a 1968ÌýIDP. Check with the ½ûÂþÌìÌà Embassy.

Similar comment for France
So check with embassiesÌý
Why not upgrade(?) to a photo driving licence?Ìý Don't need an IDP then.
(World be highly surprised if anyone checks your licence, unless you have an "incident")

It was soooo good to have now managed to get to Italy,Ìý albeit for only a short break.
Have now completed the return journey to UK.
Again, not a single border check (Switzerland,Ìý Germany or France) on the return.Ìý
All we had to do at Eurotunnel, after our passports were checked by French Border Police, was take our online uk Passenger Locator Form and our (paper) Covid Passes to a desk in the Terminal, where details were put on computer by very accommodating staff.
We were then given our Boarding Pass tag and went through uk Passport Control when called for loading on the train.
All pretty easy - except for tunnel problems, (one track not in use - technical difficulties) so 1 hour delay.Ìý Felt sorry for people travelling to France as the delay on uk side was about 3 or 4 hours - cars were queueing on the A20 to enter the terminal.
