In the (baseball) World Series, they designate a day off between games a travel day - allowing the teams to move from one's home field to the other. Yesterday was a travel day for us - moving from Edinburgh to London. Different cities & as the Scots would no doubt like to point out, different countries. We took the train down - a touch over 4 hours to travel 400 miles (much better than driving 7-odd hours). Once again, I have to say that the Europeans are ahead of the US when it comes to transport systems. Speed, efficiency, low impact - trains are far better than everyone driving, even better than flying. How come the US can't develop a high speed rail network, at least linking the eastern seaboard? It makes no sense.
Back in the familiar confines of the Knightsbridge Hotel. They treat us like family. Well, paying family members...
The oil companies - they want everybody to drive in the U.S.
