A blogging friend will show us the important things, I hope.
I look at this route and think, "England's west of us?" *lol*
Anyway, here's the song for the ferry ride:
(You might ask yourself "Driving?" but unbelievably, with the Prius it's the cheapest method. I know, that shouldn't be. There are some cheap flights but they are at very inconvenient times, and we'd need to get a taxi to get to the airport, so it turns out we're driving. We already have the headlight adapters and special insurance in case I drive on the wrong side of the road. I was telling J, "I wish there was some way we could indicate that we're German, on the car itself." He said, "License plate." I guess GB not only resists our currrency, but our license plate style.)

It's Europe. We're so united, everybody needs to do things their way :-)
But I actually like the difference in license plates. Gives you a fair bit of warning when needed. ;) My way to the barn consists mostly of one of the big north-south autobahns you can totally tell when it's vacation time in the Netherlands, the UK or Poland.
Good luck on the ferry though. I've used every way to the UK available and found the ferry the most uncomfortable. The Strait of Dover isn't exactly the calmest water.

Miss T, where are you in Germany? Are you American? Germans don't usually read my blog and your English is American. (Vacation, not holiday.)
I look forward to the ferry but the size of it intimidates me. I've driven a car onto a ferry dozens of times in my life, and a horse trailer, but this thing is Titanic-huge. I've only been seasick once, and that was in Hong Kong on the ferry, what an experience.
When I drive in the Netherlands, I annoy the locals so much, because of course, I don't know their rules - they have funny lines on the highways that mean something.
I watched Torchwood so I know the license plates of Wales, but I didn't realize that England also has the yellow plates. On my daily commute on the autobahn, the polish semi (LKW) drivers were the worst, breaking the "50 meter between semis" law, almost crushing me on entering the autobahn and then honking at me. Whenever I wanted to complain about a semi, and it would always say PL on the plate.
I have to ask... headlight adapters?
Yay, double post. Sorry about that! Apparently, I have yet to master the ins and outs of that google account.
Well, I suppose I'm the exception to the rule. Don't ask me how I came upon your blog for I can't remember. But at first I was intrigued by the outsider's view on horsey Germany and then I got too used to it to quit ;-)
Driving in the Netherlands... don't even get me started! I've lived there for a while. Indicator? What indicator? I had to re-learn its usage when I came back, because I had adapted a little too well. On the plus side it is quite nice to be able to overtake without being afraid of being pushed off the road by that BWM/Mercedes/Audi appearing out of nowhere at a speed somewhat above 200 kmph.
Cdn, here is some info - interesting! http://www.motoring-into-europe.co.uk/faq.html
