in London
[posted at 23:08 GMT]    

This is a second afternoon I am in UK and close to London. It is rather strange for me to sit on wrong side in car and even stranger is to drive on other side of the road ;-). I am always shocked when looking at car next to me and realizing there is no driver. And if you look at license plate of a car I am renting and you are from Slovakia, than you understand it all. So here it is picture of it and focus on last three letters ;-)



Yesterday evening after I arrived I did some training drive so I am able to drive today in full traffic. It went quite ok. Just need to get used to different distance from driver and left side of the car. This is for me the biggest problem, always driving too much on left side of the road. Otherwise I like it here very much. Especially part outside of the London. I had great lunch today at this great restaurant just in country side. Sun was great, nice 17C so I enjoyed it on their open garden, looking to the blue sky.



The hotel is disaster. They moved me two times already. First I have got room with window facing wall just 10cm from it!!! Second room has broken Internet connection. This third one is terribly noisy as it is above some cooling fans, or whatever. Just terrible. If you ever go to London Gatwick, do not choose Holiday Inn hotel just next to the airport! I will inform our booking department that they should just drop this hotel from choice. Is really terrible. I hope I can survive until Friday.
