  • Period in country

We should only be in Germany for a maximum of 2 days, I would imagine that we'll stop somewhere in Germany on day 1, and then be out of Germany and into Poland on day 2

  • State of roads

Generally very good, main roads are very well maintained and should not offer us a problem - we do need to consider that if we want to cross the country at speed we will need to pay for the toll roads - some very usefull information on Germanys Autobahns here

Germany is as the rest of the EU - cheaper than the UK! But food etc are around the same price.

  • Usual cost of ‘gifts

No bribes required in Germany

EU 'border-less' crossing, normal rules apply as rest of EU - passport required - customs to be declared - specific customs regulations can be found here
