1) What sort of plug / sockets do you get over there? I guess I'll need a adapter for my charging my digital camera batteries.
2) Cash (is king). Is it DMs or Euros out there? Is there a local cash point to get fresh supplies of drinking vouchers?

Chris,
1) 2 pin euro-plugs, you can get the converters in any branch of Dixons, etc.
2) Yeah there are 2 cash points very close to the circuit (GP cicuit and Adenau) but you'll need VISA or Maestro cards but sometimes the international connctions go down and you can't get money, so try to avoid running out of drinking vouchers as no bugger takes credit cards out there, except for the petrol station. Still DMs ain't it? Don't think that the paper euros appear until next year. When the euros do appear, all the DMs go straight into the bin.

Boys I think you should stock up on paper beer/petrol tokens in the UK because not to many petrol stations take credit card over here, If you have an EC card that is fine in nearly all but as for VISA/Mastercard forget it unless you are lucky.

EC = EuroCard?
What ever one of them looks like!

Me neither. The one down the road from the ring takes Visa.
