Day 6: still England

So we got up early and headed to an Internet cafe since the guy at the
front desk said we'd find better deals on renting a car that way.
Turns out we don't know what were doing since orbitz.co.uk and
travelocity and expedia were no good and Avis budget and enterprise
were sold out.

We walked to a car place and they said to maybe try back a 3 pm. So
we had another half day in London. What to do, what to do. We decided
to check out The London Bridge and The Tower of London. Got a lot of
history on how the tower was built, how it has grown, how it's burned
and been rebuilt.

Back to to the car rental place and, as luck would have it, got a
Vectra.

So, my first left handed driving experience started in the heart of
downtown London at rush hour. Holy moly! Stress case. Managed to get
out of London only hitting 1 curb.

Now were off! Out of London and heading north towards Scotland. Well
see how far we make it.

great prison.

  1. OMG!! This is great stuff guys! I just joined your party and am having a blast following your experience across Europe. :)

    So Jon! How does it feel now driving on the other side of the road? Get used to it yet? Now take that and a bazillion 2-wheelers driving past you with no lanes being followed and you are then driving in INDIA. :)
