The Rheinland Pfalz area of Germany only receives very few UK tourists and they are missing a lovely part of Germany with glorious wine and many vineyards also operating family run hotels, this being the kind of hotel we stayed in. The area also offers many different restaurants in small villages

New Zealand car hire
Used Discover Cars for car hire in the south island of New Zealand. Collected our Kia Nero from Picton ferry terminal and dropped off at Christchurch Airport 2 weeks later. A really good hassle free experience. Thrifty staff were excellent, the car was the model ordered, in good condition and the cost as promised with no hidden extras. Happy days 🙂
