Just a couple of misc. items:
Insurance:
From the countries that we're visiting, the only countries that aren't in the EU are Croatia and Bosnia. Depending on what you want to do, or what cover you already have, you may need to check with your insurance company about a Green Card for those 2 countries. I've got one for Croatia but Equity Red Star (via Carole Nash) wont cover me for Bosnia. Option, for me, is to buy the cover on the border or ride up to Zagreb without leaving Croatia. The Green Card cover is only 3rd party.
Roaming:
From the 1st June for 3months, Vodaphone are scrapping there roaming call charges. ie. the calls you make abroad will be the same as if you were in the UK............for 35 countries only, but all the countries we're visiting are listed. Link is below. Today, I've bought a Vodaphone sim card for a fiver, which included £5 credit !!! ...and stuck it in my phone. If you're doing the same, make sure your phone is unlocked so it'll accept the vodaphone sim card and ensure you apply for a Vodaphone passport.........basically, you text PASSPORT to their 2345 telephone number which then allows you to roam. It also means, calls from the UK to the mobile wont be charged for receiving a call.
