Did I see something about issues booking campsites?

I just talked to the campsites and there should be no other problem than periodically long response time due to low season …

Just picked this up from my twitter account. Might be worth a look if you plan on travelling after 29th March - go to:

or if you have a twitter account:

Following Henrik’s email, for those of us travelling to the factory visit from the UK, above is a useful reminder from @Azteccamper on another thread of some of the motoring requirements we would face in the event of no deal.

At present I am uncertain about the visa situation but the EU have recently proposed (but not ratified) visa free travel:

UPDATE!

May is fully booked (again) and has none on the waiting list. BUT April has still 3 seats open … really no one up for the visit in April? It's about the final call

If you don't get any takers, then maybe post something on the VWCC facebook group as there are owners on there that don't seem to look at the actual forum. There is still more than 1 month.

Yes, you are right. I had the thought but for some reason, I skipped it again … maybe I will do that

Hello All! I'm new to the forum and my Cali's build is next week, so if you see a cherry red Ocean on the production line, tell them to get a move on so I can get it before any brexit shenanigans scupper me having to pay import duties, etc... Oh, and have a great time...

To all you lucky folks in the first visit this year! Have a great time.
I have to wait another month (plus a week) before our Factory tour. Please make sure you leave some sunshine behind for the second brigade!
Don't forget to post some group photos etc (Not too many spoilers please!)
To all in the second group - how are you getting to Hannover? We are travelling on the 1st May to Hook van Holland, stopping at some sites on the way, including Keukenhof for the flower displays, in the Netherlands, during our slow trip to Hannover.
Looking forward to meeting you all, see you at the Camping Arnumer See on Wednesday 8th of May.

Edit: Meant to say we are coming from UK so will have our International Driving Permit and Green Card with us if needed. (I won't say why! I think you can all guess!!! )

 

[Hotel California]

Ok , so you all first visited Autostad and today everyone moved to Hannover .
Weather seems ok as it is here in Belgium for now .

Lovely pictures! Thank you for sharing. Enjoy the factory visit today!

Hahaha well, you may be correct may be because we’ve arrived at Stocken T6 factory and they had no record of our tour. They fixed one up though so we’re all happy and looking forward to the day.

Great trip, very interesting seeing Cali’s being born at Limmer and that there is significant build quality advantages for having VW build it (roof strength, aircraft quality furniture etc) as opposed to a converted van.
Henrik & all thanks for a great trip.

Well, I found out that my organizer at VW had apparently not given the Customer Service Desk any information about our arrival. Nevertheless, the guides were expecting the lot at 10.00 and were ready a quarter before … BUT off cause everyone was so eager to go, so they came BEFORE the Customer Service Center and the guide crew where in place and ready!

I love you all for the great enthusiasm and am happy that all went so well after all! Already looking forward to the next trip!

Exactly, and the next trip will go the opposite way. VW Factory first and AUTOSTADT second …

Thank you henrik and Iben for the trip - fantastic few days. Great to meet fellow Cali owners and great weather as well.
