Warning: This blog contains foul language and Star Wars references.
Since I didn't contribute at all to this thing during the Japan holiday, I thought I would throw in my two pence for our Europe trip. I'll just do a quick write-up every now and then of my experiences and impressions of all the different places we go.

It was about £30 for shipping -- not bad, really. Then we took a taxi to the Hertz office (or close enough) to pick up the car. I was nervous about driving a stick shift in a right-hand drive, but it worked out okay. Got the car parked behind the flat, then we had some really ...
