Nice!
I'm saying we'd fly and hire, we could drive all the way. Might be fun.
I've ridden a motorbike on the right hand side, how much of a pain in the arse is it driving a rhd car on the right hand side of the road?

Takes you 15-20 mins to get used to it, in terms of placing the car in the middle of the lane. Pick a marker / guide point on the windscreen that keeps you centred in the lane and you're golden. Check mirrors a bit more diligently as you have more of a blindspot. Only slight inconvenience is B-Road equivalent where you might need to overtake slow traffic; you need a longer sightline as you're on the wrong side... a spotter riding shotgun that you trust 100% is also helpful, but not a must. Honestly it's a very minor inconvenience, you'll be grand, just hug the kerb on your near side.

Echo the above. No issue at all from what we experienced last month driving down to Tuscany. Went through France, Belgium, Luxembourg (cheapest petrol), Germany, Switzerland, Italy and it all seems pretty chill now from a Covid perspective. Different mask and proof of vaccination requirements/protocols at the time. So long as you've got your NHS travel Covid pass QR code thingy and a mask in your pocket just in case, you're golden.
Brexit wise we expected to be pulled over at the Swiss/Italian border simply because of UK plates and obnoxious exhaust but nah, got waived right through. Did add little UK stickers to number plates but saw loads of British cars without them.
