Stop 13 - London
















During my three hour layover in London, I decided to leave Heathrow Airport and take a whirlwind visit to England's capital. By taking a 15 minute express train I found myself in Paddington station. (ie Bourne Ultimatum) After walking around Westminster for 20 minutes and drinking some excellent coffee, I rushed back to Heathrow for my plane to the United States. Along the way, I realized that I may want to learn British for my next trip across the pond. As an example, the picture above is a warning sign for people to not stand to close to approaching trains.

Maybe even more important than minding the gap, is minding the rising bollards. A bollard through your oil pan is a real bummer:)

I guess you got to have your oil pan do an impression of swiss cheese. I look forward to seeing you in a few weeks.
