London - England
We departed Washington D.C. for London on an overnight flight Thursday 9/25/08. Dot-2-Dot arranged for our transportation to the hotel in a nice Mercedes 10-seat minivan. This is the only country in Europe where people drive on the left side of the road. First impression of
London – the streets are so tiny! The lanes are so small that cars are only inches from one another! To encourage people using public transportation, it costs a lot of money to drive in central London: $12/day for cars, $24 /day for 4-wheel-drive.
Everything is SO expensive, a light lunch for my mom and I - half a sandwich, a cup of chicken noodles (mostly broth!), a bowl of soup (again, mostly broth), a coke and a lemonade - cost a bit more than $70 bucks!!
A 4-bedroom condo at the most prestige area in London costs $375 million dollars.
