Getting to Adinkerke, Belgium

There a number of cheap ways of getting to Adinkerke in Belgium, by Car & Ferry via Dover/Calais or Hull / Zeebrugge or by booking with one of the coach Operator's that offer cheap euro-shopper trip for about £40.00 per person, which are listed in the Coach Operator's List, unfortunately the state of these operators is somewhat hit & miss recently due to economic climate & HMRC claiming that bringing tobacco products into the UK is smuggling, although the UK has signed to the effect that ALL EU citizens have the freedom to travel & purchase their products in any member state & return with their purchases to their home member state, unless it is a banned item within that state. such as narcotics & firearms etc.

As I live in the Northern part of England, I find the easiest means of travelling to Adinkerke, Belgium. is by using the Hull / Zeebrugge Mini-Cruise operated by P & O Ferries Prices are normally about £70.00 per Person, but if you time your trips withhttp://www.poferries.com P & O Ferries Website you can quite often obtain 2 for 1 deals including your car, I would also recommend that you have a SatNav system or Good quality Maps of Belgium most importantly they should be upto date, Adinkerke sits near the Coast near the French/Belgian Border 1km inside Belgium, Driving from Zeebrugge to Adinkerke takes about an hour about 85km which is Motorways virtually all the way, Driving from Calais to Adinkerke will take about 50min to cover the 70km or so, again it is virtually motorways all the way.

On returning to the UK you may or may not be stopped by HMRC {Her Majesty's Revenue & Customs}, and asked questions regarding any contraband items you may have, such as Firearms, Knive, Swords, Drugs {narcotics & medicines} etc. plus any Beers Wines Spirits & Tobacco Products, they may ask you if you are aware of the guidelines for the products you have returned with, If you exceed the guidelines as laid out by HMRC You may be detained for further questioning where you must prove to them that the products are for your own personal use, you may be asked how many cigarretes you smoke on an average day, How did you pay for the product, where did the money come from to pay for the products, If you fail to convince the customs officer you may have your goods seized, DO NOT EXCEED YOUR PERSONAL ALLOWANCES, YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!
