Euro Driving
It has been an interesting experience driving in Europe and the UK. Beyond the obvious of Baxter in the right seat and driving on the left with the stick shift on the left. Other mentionable considerations include the fact there are very few lights - most intersections are managed with round-a-bouts, the signs are not always easy to figure out as you drive past at 60kph, lane marks are different, and everyone else understands except you. It took us about 6 hours to manage the most important aspects and then we were ready to go. By time we had driven around Ireland, I dare say we blended in with the masses.

Has the Hurricane impacted your travel from Ireland . Be safe !
H. Ophelia wasn't as bad as expected. Thankfully, Cork fared pretty well. We are in the UK now and we are pretty protected and the storm moved through quickly.

You need to write a book. Your posts are fabulous. Feel like I'm with you !
Being a lefty, Tom likes driving on the "other side"
Thanks Jim - that is so nice of you.
Fortunately, Baxter is left handed as well. I think going back to the right side would be a bit weird now.
