We're off to holland at the end of the month and I wonder if anyone could answer the following questions for me

Do I need to do anything to be able to connect to their electricity?  Do I need polarity checkers or european plug cables?

Are there any link ATM machines near to Duinrell?

Anywhere good to eat in Wassanar that anyone can recommend?

I want to buy duty free tobacco - am I best to get it on the ferry or in Wassanar?  Any ideas how much tobacco is?  Can I pay for duty free on the ferry with my credit card?  If I pay cash do I use £ or Euro?

Thanks in advance for your help.

not sure about EHU but it is a very ordered site and I seem to remember campers with tvs and I expect you will be able to get what you need above and beyond standard euro adapters. 

The site has its own atm at the campsite entry point into the theme park (as apposed to the day trippers entry)    It had ING cash points last time I saw it though that was a few years ago now.  there are other points within the theme park too.

Never really found anywhere special to eat locally though the theme park has a few places and the campsite has a buffet place plus a bistro and pizza take a way.  the buffet is not that good and we have never tried the bistro but the mini pancakes from a stall inside the park are to die for! 

there is a place to eat right outside the theme park but I expect that will be quite touristy too. 

You can easily walk into town from this site so there may be places there.

Honestly - it's not the third world.

Of course there will be ATM machines, of course they will sell tobacco, of course their electricity will be OK, of course they will speak English as well. You'll even be able to get apple tart.

It's the Netherlands not blinking Somalia.

As you walk into Wassenaar via the church you come to a small square that has a couple of pizza restaurants on it. We didn't eat in but got a take out to eat back at the campsite from the one on the same side of the road as the church. The pizzas were excellent and you can have a couple of beers while you watch them make the pizzas for you.

There is a brilliant icecream parlour in the village...1e for a small cone. At the weekends the queues are enormous but it is open to 10pm I think. Best icecream ever and you can sit outside and people watch while you enjoy it.This became our daily treat!

Actually not as plentiful as in UK or France & UK credit/debit cards not as widely accepted as you might think. Ok at motorway services but not always at supermarkets or shops, even large chains.
