We have been driving in the countryside now for two days. Here's our observations:
• There are no straight roads. Every street is narrow, bendy, twisty, curvy roads with tall hedges on either side, right up to the roadway and trimmed like a wall.
• No garbage anyway. Not even in London. London didn't even smell (like New York City does). Yet there are very few trash bins. Jason told us that since there terrorist attacks a few years ago, they removed public trash bins. But still the question: how come every place is so clean and without garbage?
• Very green everywhere. Everyone trims their hedges. The roses are everywhere and on big bushes that are like small trees.
• Everywhere are stone fences made of flat stones, topped with vertical flat stones or paved. Are all the rocks in England the same shape? Are there no round rocks?
• Next time Bring a GPS! I set up Google each morning before we leave our accommodation and internet connection and it follows us all day. Except when we get off track it doesn't up- date or recalculate – a very important feature.
