On our agenda for the day was to pick up the Rental Car and learn to drive on the left side of the road. So it was back to the trains - Underground to London-Victoria, Southern Rail from London-Victoria to London-Gatwick.
Now that we were a little more settled and not carrying as much luggage, we were able to enjoy the sites on the way to the airport a little more...
Once we picked up our rental car, we headed to Stonehenge. Sorry, we don't have video of us driving on the left for the first time... I think we were both a little too nervous! Anyway, we only almost killed ourselves once when we exited the roundabout from the inside lane... Oooops... we were barely out of the airport at this point so I am sure the other traffic was used to looking out for people like us :)
A few hours later, we arrived at Stonehenge... a really cool place.. we didn't pay to go "on the premises", we kinda figured the stones pretty much looked the same from both inside and out :)
NEXT STOP: Aintree Racecourse in Liverpool for horse racing and the McFly concert!
So... we sorta miscalculated our travel time a little - by like 3 hours :) - and got a little lost - but thankfully my superpower is DRIVING FAST! Getting us there on time by pushing our little car a wee bit faster than normal is my specialty.
Along the way to Liverpool, we kept seeing these TANK CROSSING signs. We decided to take a picture ... Joe's taking the picture...I am driving... still on the left :)
We arrived in Liverpool, at the Aintree Racecourse, just as the last horse race was going on. Just in time to get some awesome shots...
And THEN... what we came for... the McFly concert!!!!!!!
Afterward, we headed to Blackpool (which is about an hour north of Liverpool) to our bed and breakfast.
DAY 3: SCOTLAND....
