Day 4 {London Part 1}

       We arrived in London in the afternoon with what we were hoping was enough time to rent a car which we already had booked to drive out to the Stonehenge but that didn’t end up happening and in a way I’m kind of glad for 2 reasons…1^st driving in London is awful and 2^nd driving to the Stonehenge, seeing it and then trying to find our way back to he rental car place/train station would have made us late for the train. We decided instead to drive out to see the London bridge and drive across it. We accomplished that but getting there was the fun or should I say nail biting part! Not only is getting use to driving on the opposite side of the road hard then you have the steering wheel on the opposite side of the car. The streets are complicated and navigating is hard. There are no dividers in the road so are sometimes you are less then an inch from the other cars. If you don’t go right as the light turns green they honk like crazy at you. If you are not going fast enough they will swerve out of the lane and speed up and cut in front if you, The motorcyclists think they are invincible and weave in our of cars. People cross the road whenever they feel like it. People park their cars on very narrow roads and some are parked facing one way while others are parked the opposite way. We finally made to the London Bridge after about what seemed like forever. It was so HUGE! It was very crowded and so spectacular to look at as we drove over it We were awe struck at its beauty and also the size of it. We had to head back towards the train station but first we had to return the rental car. We could not find the place to save our lives. I finally called the company to ask for directions but that didn’t help very much, they gave us some coordinates to help us locate it told us to go this way and that and finally I spotted the building in the distance…thank goodness! We dropped the car off and walked 5 min to Kings Cross Train Station. That train station is amazing! We were in awe once again at the enormity of it. We found a place and we got some dinner before the train..nothing huge just something to hold us over until Paris. We boarded the train to Paris and off we went….too be continued!
