Travels

Currently on my wedding/ honeymoon. Stayed in Munich and Switzerland so far. Driving on the left is so strange. Seen some cool cars but a lot of Mercs / bmw etc. Also saw one of those butt ugly Nismo jukes I think they are called?

Also went in a Tesla for the first time today, not sure which model it was but it went pretty hard, it’s so weird and quiet though.

Also saw snow for the first time

Congrats on the wedding woody!
Looks very nice there, if not a bit on the chilly side.
I though you guys drove on the 'proper' side of the road like us brits?

Where you off to next, Nurembergring by any chance? The wife would love it there i'm sure!

Thanks buddy! The days have pretty nice but had abit of rain. Mornings/ nights have been cold, not used to it lol.

My bad, we do, I was thinking steering wheel side.

I would have loved to but just didn’t get the chance. I’m currently on the way to Venice. Also going Rome, nice, la spezia, Florence, Paris then London on the way home.

Enjoy mate I currently in oz picking up parts from a abandoned R it’s the double of yours lol. Enjoy some nice places on that list

Congrats on the wedding.
Looks like you are enjoying your travels.
Are you staying in London or just flight drop off for a few hours?

They'll be plenty of weird and wonderful cars in Italy to see from super cars to 2 wheeled pickup trucks lol

Looking forward to it, I’ll try snap some pics of some weird ones

Congrats Dude - enjoy the honeymoon.
If you want any tips for London let me know as I've spent the past 15+ years working up town.

Where in London? I’m guessing central- Zone 1.
The Gtir is banned from zone 1 unless you pay a £24.50 charge a day to enter.

I’m staying at The Grosvenor Hotel on Buckingham Palace Road, I’m guessing that’s central? What’s the reasoning for charging? That seems a lot just to drive a car in a certain area!

Londons a big place, went the onpther month everything's miles away from each other, get a red tour bus pass, hop on hop off easiest way round and sightseeing!

Maybe for 30th anniversary meet we could all head to London? Have a blast down the mall, keep the Royals awake in the evening (lazy fuckers), park up in st James park or something lol

Congratulations on the wedding Chris.

Congrats on the wedding / honeymoon and hope you enjoy your european travels!!

Crazy to think you haven't seen snow before! Just avoid the yellow snow...

Buckingham Palace Road - You'll be slap bang in the middle of London - great location !
You are right on top of Victoria train station so you can use the underground network with ease.
If the weather is crap definitely use the tube - it's quick and easy to get about.

I prefer to walk around London if the weather is good.
Get yourselves over to Westminster to see Big Ben and the Houses of Parliament.
Cross Westminster Bridge, you then have the London Eye (the big wheel thing) - that's good - buy tickets in advance.
Then take a walk down the Southbank of the River Thames from the London Eye - it's a great walk.
This will lead you to the Millennium Bridge where you have the Tate Modern Museum and the historic Globe Theater.
St. Paul's Cathedral is on the opposite side of the river which you can't miss and you can cross the river to go see.
Carry on down the south bank towards London Bridge - there are pubs all along the Southbank walk to stop at and refresh yourself.
Once at London Bridge you have Borough Market next to Southwark Cathedral which has epic food stalls.
You also have the Shard at London Bridge (tallest building in London)
You can go to the top of the Shard - the views are EPIC.
It's quite expensive so a good tip is to pre book cocktails in one of the bars which is free to book and the views are great.
(not as high as the top platform but a great alternative).
You can then take a river boat (Thames Clipper) all the way back down to where you started and you get a view from the river which is very cool also.
That should keep you busy mate !!!!

Thanks so much mate, that’s great, I’ll see sure to check some of those places out. Finding a good place to drink is a must each day each

And bebb it didn’t take me long

Have a great time looks like you have had fun already. You going anywhere else in the UK or just London? 4 nights in that stinky shit hole doesn't sound like a holiday to me haha but that's my opinion as I hate cities all the same give the Queen a wave from me

Told ya

Oh wow
Looks great .
After a honeymoon you won't be able drive for at least 2 weeks, walking be difficult too ...
Have fun .
Don't worry about Johnny, he be lost as all the sign be in english not Goerdie ...

Haha thanks B in saying that I havent walked so much in my life, all this travelling makes me thirsty!
