Clocks go back on Sunday
Just a quick reminder that summer time ends this weekend in Europe and the clocks go back at 3 am Sunday morning.
I think the US is a week later so wouldn't want anyone visiting Europe right now being caught out!

This is a timely reminder.
I found two issues in this area.
For the locals working at hotels, this is such a routine matter that they don't even think there are guests not familiar with how the time change works and therefore feel no need to mention such "obvious" matters. At perceptive hotels with a lot of foreign visitors, I have seen notes posted inside the elevators.
Many first timers from the U.S. I have traveled with have unwavering belief that the rest of the world work like the U.S. They could not imagine the time changes on different dates outside the U.S. It was incredible for them to find out that time changes on Friday morning in Israel.
I double check upcoming time changes at http://www.timeanddate.com/.
