@Mark Boyce posted:Crazy! That goes along with what we see on British television. Sometimes it’s miles, sometimes it’s kilometers. Another thing, British drive on the opposite side of the road as Americans. I can never get used to seeing that on television. Fortunately the sum total of my international travel has been to Niagara Falls long before we needed a passport.
I highly recommend a visit to England and Wales for anyone who likes trains. The National Railway Museum in York is as good as it gets, and York is a great city for many other reasons. There are countless heritage railways across the country that offer rides on restored equipment. My personal favorite is the Ffestiniog.
Driving on the left is a challenge - don't refer to it as "driving on the wrong side of the road" - but it's manageable as long as one avoids driving in London.
