Starting on Monday in travelling Europe for a month (soooo excited.)
Basically I'm looking for advice on where I can get my hands on some paraffin when I'm there? Also, what kind I should/shouldn't get? I usually use 'Bartoline' paraffin.
Thanks in advance, Ross

In the UK you can pick it up all over the place (petrol stations, hardware stores, camping stores, garden centres, etc).
I struggled in Italy to find anything other than 'lamp oil' (but that was about 6 yrs ago) and when I asked in hardware stores they looked at me like I was mental. I remember finding it in Spain without any problems. In France it is sold in the super(/hyper)markets (Carrefour etc.).
Where abouts are you heading? It has different names in different countries.
