If you’re planning a road trip in the Dolomites, take a look at the UK company Wicked Campers.

The bargain campervan company is known for its “funky accommodation and wheels all rolled in to one wicked campervan.”  For mountain travelers in Europe, it’s a brilliant way to travel and  camp in style, comfort and on a budget.

Wicked Campers offers a choice of two and five-seater Toyota vans equipped with a bed for two, table, basic built-in kitchen, camping chairs, CD player and storage space and additional tents for larger groups.  What makes the campers “funky” is each van is individually graffitied like no other.

All Wicked Campers’ vans come with insurance and 24-hour roadside assistance which is valid in the UK and the rest of Europe.  They are available for one-way or round-trip hire.  Depots are located in London, Dundee, Loch Ness, Belfast, Amsterdam, Munich, Barcelona, Malaga, San Benedetto and Verditz.

Will you be in Vancouver for the 2010 Winter Games?

Then you’ll want to plan ahead because driving around Vancouver will be challenging with increased road traffic and temporary street closures. The new website TravelSmart 2010 can tell you about your transportation options like taking public transit, walking or cycling.

Says Dr. Penny Ballem, city manager for the City of Vancouver:

“A reminder that the best way to get where you need to go and avoid delays is by planning ahead, avoiding peak travel times and knowing your transportation options now before you step out the door in February and March 2010.”

One temporary traffic closure  will be the Cambie Street Bridge and Beatty Street (between Smithe and Georgia) that will temporarily close between noon and midnight on February 10, 12 and 28 and March 12, but will remain open to pedestrians and cyclists.
