Welcome to the UK

Welcome to the UK! We had no problems getting through the immigration control area but I wonder how many people try to come into the country and are denied entry. As with most countries, I thinkBaca selengkapnya

On the Platform
5 November 2023, Inggris ⋅ ☀️ 55 °F
We decided to take the underground into London. It’s fast, easy, and a lot less expensive than riding a taxi or Uber. I hope we don’t have a long wait for a train. Right now, we’re the only onesBaca selengkapnya

A Seat!

Unlike the trains in New York City, there’s no struggle to find a seat. This train was so uncrowded that we could have our pick wherever we wanted to sit. This should be a good ride!

Paddington is very much as I remember it. Very big, crowded and busy. I’m surprised, for a Sunday evening, that it’s this busy. I guess everyone is heading home from a day out of enjoying the weekend.
