A nice trip to Italy

[svenedin]

I live on the edge of South London. Londoners tend to think of distance in terms of how long a journey takes rather than actual miles travelled. The UK is densely populated with a lot of traffic that slows journeys down. As a student I studied in Edinburgh but my family were in Worthing on the South Coast. That journey is about 480 miles, depending on the route. I would drive overnight leaving at about 10pm and it was fairly painless except for trying to stay awake! In those days a lot of coffee and cigarettes. I would arrive in the early morning in time for breakfast and usually I would then go to bed until lunchtime.
