The place we stayed in last night was a tiny little village near Stroub. It's in the Cotswolds, which is regarded as one of the most beautiful
places in England. I can kind of see why, in this village. The houses are all very old stone buildings, with lush, green gardens all around. The
stones are moss-covered, and the lanes are these charming little one-car-wide deals which provide a lovely atmosphere. Unfortunately, the lanes
all take form much over function, and if you happen to meet a car coming the other way, more often then not one of you has to reverse back to
somewhere you can pull into a little nook and let the other car pass. You'd also have a lot of trouble getting a car much bigger than our Ford
Mondeo through (4WD owners, I'm looking at you). I saw one E-Class Mercedes parked in a driveway, and I thought it was a brave person who drove
that!
Anyway, today we arrived in London, checked into the hotel and gave the car back. London is almost exactly like I imagined it would be. In fact, it reminded me so much of the game "The Getaway" on PS2, that I almost felt I knew my way around already!
I wasn't really in the mood for doing too much today, so I spend a fair amount of time this afternoon in the hotel room just taking it easy. Tomorrow, I'll probably buy one of the bus tour tickets (which lates two days) and take a tour around. Maybe see the Eye of London or something like that - just depends where I decide to get off the bus, I guess.
