- An American driving in the UK for the first time can be a scary thing... you're driving on the wrong side of the road, after all! In this video, I show you guys the first few days of my big UK road trip, including driving on the left side of the road for the first time!

Hey guys! A lot of you were asking for more videos of my trip to the UK, so I put them all in a playlist for you! Feel free to come along for the journey here! th-cam.com/play/PL-KdG_p4Hp_ZzaMW73kNH7Fj5-CNExZjJ.html
PS, yes, I know it's not the "wrong" side of the road, just the left. I was just poking fun. 😉 Love all you silly Brits. ❤️
Americans planning on coming to the UK should read www.highwaycodeuk.co.uk/ ... you can buy it bookshops also. Because there are MANY differences between the rules of the road in the UK compared to North America.. it is not JUST about driving on the left.
+hauskalainen Very good advice, however please share it with home grown UK drivers, as many of them either don't have a clue or don't care - which doesn't make life easier for visitors!
welcome to my home island remeber our counties are like states we say and do different things depending on where we are

By the way . Your on right side because history plus more reasons.
In England if you pass your test in an auto you cannot drive a manual. If you pass in a
Manual you can drive both.
Yes, I actually knew that! That's why I was the designated driver for this trip. :) My friend didn't have experience driving a manual, but I grew up driving one.
CulpFiction I don’t think it would matter for your friend as you have an American licence :)
Sorry, I meant that my friend is simply less experienced than I am when it comes to driving manual, whether she's licensed that way or not. Legally, it wouldn't matter since we both have American licenses, but practically speaking, it made more sense for me to be the driver because of our different driving backgrounds.
CulpFiction ah I see! Cool though how did you find doing 60mph American highway speed down teeny narrow lanes?
That was terrifying haha! At home, those same roads would have a speed limit of maybe 20-30mph. Going double that definitely took some getting used to!
The most embarrassing thing about this video is all the sarcastic/nasty comments from some of the British.
It’s fantastic to see people visiting our country and great to see people enjoying their stay. Stop being pricks about it.
I’ve driven in America and it’s stressful being on the other side of the road in the other side of the car. Give them a break.
Sarcasm is British HUMOUR, no need to bitch about it.... there was none in the video anyway.
Not stressful at all actually. I lived in Cincinnati for 6 years and I found driving on the right easier than here. Wasn't too keen on getting stuck behind a school bus mind!
I know, right. TH-cam is such a festering pit of twats with nothing but negativity. Two girls simply lapping up our country - what a great watch and a nice reminder of what we have!
Aye, driving on the other side of the car, on the ‘wrong’ side of the road is no joke! When I went to the States with my American missus I intended to do the driving but in the end was happy to cede the wheel to the person who was used to driving on the left side of the car and the right-hand side of the road :eek: :).
86Rikki. Completely right I agree with you mate.
As a Brit I LOVE seeing people from different nationalities explore British culture and see the sights of the UK. I'm from Crawley (the town where Gatwick Airport is), so it was especially nice to see what you thought of the places local to me. It also seems like you visited during the best time (lots of unpredictable weather here!). I hope you enjoyed your stay!
On a side note, well done for actually exploring outside of London! Most tourists just tend to stay there and miss the great places outside the capital.
Thank you so much! I visited London in 2015 or 2016 and absolutely loved it, but there was so much more of the UK that I wanted to see. I had the most amazing time and I can't wait to go back! Feel free to check out some other recent vlogs of mine, I filmed segments all over the UK and Ireland that you might be interested in. :)
At last a friendly native. These girls are stars and have educated and enlightened us with much humour about our own fair lands
Most of the natives are friendly (ignore the youtube trolls) :)
They are not really exploring British culture because their is no such thing, theirs English culture, Welsh, or Scottish but most go to England so they only see English
The reason we drive on the left goes back a long way. As most people are right handed, it was to do with riding a Horse or Chariot using left hand and having your right hand to use your sword or pistol and we have been doing it since the Roman era, except they didn't of course have pistols back then. Just like always getting on aircraft (airplanes) on the left, as you would mount a Horse from the left, anything else was "Ungentlemanly" as the early aircraft (biplanes, etc) you would actually mount the lower wing to climb into, so boarding from the left became the standard, still used on modern aircraft, that's why the pilot in command in side by side aircraft always sits on the left.although not in Helicopters.
Native Americans mount horses on the right side (or did, but perhaps the White Man has tried to make them civilised).
Even though British people say the Same thing about the people driving on the right!
We Americans find it easier to operate the machine gun turret buttons on the left side.
+Norwegian Blue Hmm .... by the way, how's your parrot?
Bereft of life.
Always amused by Americans expressing surprise that we use the imperial system - where do you think the 'imperial' part came from, exactly? :-)
It's just that we get made fun of so much for using fahrenheit and NOT using the metric system that I didn't realize that the UK hadn't completely moved over to completely metric either!
To CulpFiction- The UK would have gone completely metric years ago if wasn't for the dithering old idiots in government who couldn't organise a coffee morning in a Starbucks! At least we can buy our milk in litres from our local shop. As for driving, I've driven in the UK and US (and other countries) for years and personally, I would prefer to drive on the right, in my automatic car, with road signs in kilometres (Like Canada)
C cG -I have reported your disgusting libel to TH-cam
sort of but sort of not. The milk mentioned by Mervyn is still in pints ..but is labelled in metric equivalents.
And your cider was a pint..
petrol ( gas) is dispensed in litres but I'm always mentally converting as a gallon is somehow more 'real' than litres and miles more real than km... if you are 'doing the ton' in miles you are really moving whereas 100km/h is what you get to in 2nd gear..
Sadly, the speed measurement of furlongs/fortnight is no longer widely used :-(
ForgottenMan2009 - The milk to which I am referring is distributed by Muller (who took over Wiseman dairies and then Dairy Crest) and is sold in 1 litre (and 2 litre) plastic bottles, without even carrying a pint equivalent on the label. We stopped having the milk delivered in 1 pint glass bottles because they take up too much room in the fridge. In the US, buying milk from the supermarket is in fractions of a (US) quart and you also have to choose what fat content percentage you want and if you need calcium or vitamin enriched! Practically impossible to just dash into the store and grab a bottle of semi-skimmed!
This video was great. The girls are so enthusiastic and down to earth.
Thank you Jim! You're awesome!
I don`t ever have a problem driving on the other side of the road, all you have to remember is that if you are driving then you should be closer to the centre of the road, if you are nearest where the pedestrians usually are, then you are on the wrong side of the road.
Yeah, it clicked into place once I visualized driving along the centerline, just as I do here in the States. Keeping that in mind, it made it much easier.
The scariest part of our Ireland trip was driving! I had SUCH a hard time adjusting to the other side of the road. Loved this vog and we're SO excited for all of the UK vlogs!
Dartmoor is in Devon, not Cornwall. I know this because I can see it from my house, and I live 40 miles from Cornwall, in Devon. Just sayin'.
You're right! I should have said we were driving "toward" Cornwall. We spent only a night in Devon, and immediately went to Cornwall the next day, so I kind of lumped them all together in my head.
Just make sure if you have a cream tea, you do it the correct way around. Devon (which is right in all things!) is cream first then Jam on top. Cornwall (where people are cloven hoofed) put their jam on first then the cream on top - wrong just so wrong!
Daniel Saint oh no. I think I’m the devil 😬 I always do jam first because I put a full mountain of cream on and I can’t balance jam on top of it 😂
*shakes head in despair*
Do you put the butter on the bread after the jam? NO, you do not! So why would you put the cream on last??
Daniel Saint I’m sorry 😭 maybe it’s my technique. Essentially, spoon as much clotted cream as is humanly possible and then shove it one the scone and hope it doesn’t fall off before it gets to your mouth 😂😂
Why do americans say the wrong side of the road, why can't they just say the other side of the road. Apparently they are the centre of the universe.
Actually, the UK side (say, traditional side) was more or less universal but the French during the revolution decided to drive on the opposite side, pretty much as a f-u to everyone else, some countries copied, some countries stayed the same.
The traditional side came from horse riding and jousting, as your 'strong hand' (usually right hand) was used for swords/spears ect, and it kinda evolved from there...
But it matters not, soon we will all be carried around in self driving cars wearing gas masks as we have put too much co2 in the air.... :-p
I was joking each time I said that. :) Just like my American side is "wrong" to you, the British side is "wrong" to me. All in good fun!
Oh don't get your panties all in a wad!
I'm not accusing the vlogger of this but holy cow have I met a lot of US people who think it's the wrong side of the road because they don't drive that way. There is a large proportion of Americans who genuinely don't think that there is anything in the world apart from America.
Come on peeps, it's just words. I'm sure no offence was meant and certainly none taken by most of us.
A useful tip if you are driving on the "wrong" side of the road - make a big arrow on a piece of card with a felt pen, and stick the card to the dashboard with the arrow pointing to the left or right, so you see it all the time you are driving. The most dangerous time is when you have stopped for a meal, and then start driving again - your subconscious wants to start driving on your "normal" side of the road... This tip helped me a lot when I first started driving in Europe on the "wrong" side of the road...
The difference between a cottage and a shepherd's pie is, one is minced beef, think of a shepherd, the other is minced lamb...
Yep, that's what we explained in the video! :)
So cows are herded by cottages then?
david howard: I've yet to see a cottage made of minced lamb, or even minced beef, and so that's nothing more than pie in the sky.
The " shed" they stayed in was actually an old railway workers hut. They would be towed along the railway to where they were needed and used either for accomadation or to store tools etc. Many of them finished up as garden sheds or turned into small homes.
I missed you so much!! I’ve been waiting so long to watch the UK vlogs! I love the editing on this vlog! I’m also excited to see where the next chapter in your life takes you!
My boyfriend describes Scotland driving,mainly the sides of the road and how you shouldn't be as scared if someone looks like they are coming head on at you. That's just from driving in Scotland. American driving is wild because of the size of the automobiles. Not just large trucks but the haulers,the tractor trailers,still make my heart race when I drive close to them.
wouldn!t it been easier for u to rent a automatic car than the manual considering u are used to auto in America and would of been easier for u to concentrate on the road in the uk ,
They're more expensive to rent as well, and I'm pretty experienced driving a manual, so it wasn't a big deal. :)
Remember these girls were on a budget, manuals are cheaper to rent.
@@ivanashley7875 They're cheaper and obviously much more common. I hear it can actually be quite hard to find many automatic cars to rent.
@@CulpFiction that's very curious, because automatic cars are actually a lot cheaper to buy over here than manual cars! Supply and demand i guess, most tourists want an auto and most locals want a manual lol
I hired an automatic to drive in Spain, one less thing to remember' but it broke down and they wanted to give me a manual replacement.
Those are chips with your scampi not fries! 😀 Thick and chunky fried potatoes are called chips here, skinny thin fried potatoes are fries (ala Maccy Dee's).
Yep, totally know that! They were out of fish, so I got scampi instead. 👌
Andrew Law: Skinny, thin fried potatoes also are chips: it's only the likes of McDonald's who have brain-washed some people into believing they should be called fries.
@@anghinetti Not in the UK they're not. Fish & chips is our National dish, chips have never been thin and skinny, they have always been thick and or chunky cut and deep fried in beef lard. French fries allegedly come from Belgium not France, the American GI's were introduced to them in WWII and took the idea back to the USA when the war was over. They were largely forgotten in the UK for the traditional British chip until 1977 when McDonald's opened their first UK branch in Woolwich.
@@anghinetti McDonald's do serve french fries not chips. Fries are fried twice the second time higher temperature. Proper chips are only fried once.
I can't wait to see the vlog from your UK adventures. I love the way you edit your videos and I'm happy that Blake is home! 😊
This is great. Kent, Sussex and often Cornwall on hols is very much my stomping ground. Loved seeing you having such a blast somewhere I often take so for granted! Loved the fact that you took the longest route possible to your stop in Lewes from Gatwick - whereas I'd be so desperate to take the shortest and most direct route possible! Off to watch your other vids :)
I commend you on the amazing bravery you show here! Very intrepid. I'm a Brit and even I'm not hugely keen driving around the UK in new places. It's quite stressful because there's always quite a lot of traffic. I'd never be brave enough to drive over in France or the US. Well done! I applaud you. :)
It warms the cockles of my heart when I see foreigners enjoying my country.
Absolutely adored it, can't wait to visit again!
I'm so happy to see you and Blake are back! It looks like you had a fantastic trip! Cant wait to see what the near future brings you guys :)
So excited to see CulpFiction all back together again! Can’t wait to see all the shenanigans yall will get into in the next few months!
Tip for visiting Americans, the car hire (rental) companies also do automatics, consider requesting one, because why make things more difficult when you've already got enough changes to adapt to? Unless you're going to be here a long time the small additional cost is probably well worth it.
So happy to see a vlog from you. The editing was so good. Laughed at the cat sign that you got footage of that said that the cats in the window are not locked in here. 😂😂😂
Tip for all American drivers over here. Do not undersetimate distances! Over here because of the density of road users, even on amotorway you will average only 50 miles an hour so 200 miles will take you 4 hours PLUS a comfort stop! So Brighton to Dartmoor (it is in DEVEON btw) is 250 miles or around 5/6 hours solid driving. A Brit on holiday would split the journey to see other sites along the way.
When you’re next in the UK it would be so awesome to give you like a tour of Wiltshire! I feel like there’s so many amazing places that don’t get seen by tourists because they’re not landmarks or like crazy parks and stuff.
Wiltshire is so pretty!
Kirsten we like to think so ;)
Wiltshire has one of Britain's most famous landmarks! (Stonehenge)
MsPinkwolf it’s not all it’s cracked up to be I’ll be totally honest. On the everyday it’s cool to see but kinda just a load of stones in a field. And at the solstice there are SO many people it just ruins it.
Another awesome video. Such beautiful scenery and I thank you again for taking us all along. Look forward to your upcoming videos of your trip.
Congratulations that you haven't made a fuss about driving on the left, unlike most Americans.
I got to drive a Mercedes USPS mail van here in the US just once. It was right hand drive for delivering mail, so everything I'm used to was mirrored.
I can't imagine how amazing this trip must have been but how overwhelmed you must be going through an entire month of footage and trying to put everything together!
Seeing the map of where you are in England really helps too
awww glad the husband is back home!! can't wait for up to day vlogs!
UK 65.64 million people, 242,495 km², 12,429 km of coast. US 325.7 million people, 9.834 million km², 153646 km of coast.
We've got 8.2 times the population density but only 40% the population per km of coastline, so smaller homes closer together and more coast per person *but* you were at the beach closest to London that isn't downstream of London's sewage treatment works and such sunny days are still considered a rarity here.
If you'd been up at Clashnessie, you'd have seen nobody else (and it wouldn't have been quite as warm).
We went to a few more beaches on our drive! You should check out some other vlogs of mine in the UK. Had an amazing time, and absolutely loved every part of the UK that I saw!
Crazy to think you have seen more of my home country than I have, Road trip is a must do when i get my license.
lol same I thought I was the only one, basically haven’t gone anywhere outside of London
Yea!!! Happy to see you and blake back!! The next couple of months will be so busy but so exciting for you both❤❤💚 Thanks for sharing your travels :) Have a great day.
Fun fact...the Americans USED to drive (horse wagons) on the left, just like us.. but switched due to the pioneers towing their wagons westward, which led to wider wagons, which led to the need to sit on the right because traditionally, that was their 'whip' hand for the horses, leaving their left hand to hold the reigns in a central position.
Yes, I actually did know that! So interesting!
Seeing Blake at the of the vlog in Vegas. Totally made the video! Can’t wait to see the rest of your amazing adventures!!!
On your next visit give NE England a try, Northumberland has the most castles in England and you have Hadrian's Wall, cant guarantee the weather but it's not as "crowded" as the South of England and Newcastle's a great party town.
Are you a relative of Pop or Bryan Robson ?
No but he'll be a member of the Robson clan no doubt. The name Robson is quite common in the NE of England our ancestors were Border Reivers. Some say the first Robson was an auxiliary of the Roman army who manned Hadrian's Wall others say the Robsons' were Angles who emigrated from what is now Denmark/Northern Germany after the the Romans withdrew in the early 5th century.
Dover had its peak popularity around 1939/40. The tourist board wasn't very friendly, and if you though immegration was bad today, you should of seen it then.
Joking aside, if you walk them cliffs you'll find a load of oll pill boxes and built in gun encampments with corridors and rooms branching off them in the cliffs.
Stephen Butler lol that took me a minute.
Loved seeing you on Brighton beach, my grandparents had a guest house in Brighton when I was a child and it's my favourite place to visit
Such a beautiful spot, I can't wait to visit again!
I'm watching and having fun. You guys are so friendly. All the best. Mark
We live on a crowded little island. In my opinion you did extremely well driving a manual vehicle on the 'wrong side' of the road - liked your positive attitude.
Aw thank you so much Gordon! I had an incredible time!
Gordon Smith: 'We' don't live on a crowded, little island: the British Isles number upwards of 6,000.
I'm so excited for the vlogs! I missed your video's!!! Glad you made it home safe!
You did very well driving in the UK after you have driven your entire life on the wrong side! I hope you enjoyed the motherland :)
I adored it! I can't wait to visit again!
8.02 - first time anyone has ever called Dover beautiful!
It WAS beautiful!
Really enjoying your vlog. Looks like you planned it very well and picked some good places to visit. So nice to see your enthusiasm.
Your chosen distances are very ambitious - it's not freeway all the way. I live in Switzerland and visit every summer with my Swiss wife. It's more relaxing when you plan max 100 -150 miles a day and get time to actually see & visit things instead of driving all the time. I guess you would do it slightly differently if you did it again, wouldn't you? But nice to see the great places you visited - makes me realize what a great place it is. All the best, Rob
Hi Rob! The first day was definitely extremely ambitious, and if I could do it all over again, I would have definitely slowed down. BUT farther into our journey (see the pinned comment for the rest of the videos in this playlist) we actually did slow down quite a bit. :) Especially up in Scotland, each day was beautiful and full of so much to see, so we weren't driving as far on a daily basis.
The left-hand side is the proper side - Americans changed only after they became independent from England as a spite to the English - driving on the left stems from when Knights rode horses on tracks thus keeping their right-hand free to wield a sword on anyone coming on their right. Napoleon introduced riding on the right in Europe also as a spite to the English.
Beca! Get your feet off the seats it's discurtious and illmanared to do so no matter how sleepy you are.
1. Taking up seats that others may want to sit on but cannot because you've got them all.
(The other is people putting bags on the seats next to them specially on trains and buses if you didnt buy another ticket put them in the rack above on a train or on your knee / lap or between your feet) dont care if you dont want anyone sitting next to you (infact when I see that I aim to sit next to them on purposeful .
2. Your dirty shoes have could and will leave dog poop, urine, chewing gum or just dirt on the chairs for others to sit on and dirty their clothes.
A bad habit that need to stop.
Rest of the video was great. 👍
Thanks for being the first American I've seen who explains what age a "grade" means. Most people would just have said 8th grade and assume it was obvious to non Americans.
Good to see you enjoying the visit and making an adventure of it.
Thank you so much! I absolutely adored my time there, I can't wait to visit again!
When I have driven in the USA and Germany, I haven't found driving on the right difficult, as long as I keep thinking and don't rely on instinct. American road signs can be a challenge, though. Many of them are heraldic. A blue shield with curly edges means something different, for instance, from a yellow shield with straight edges. Then there are the esoteric verbal instructions LEFT TURN MUST YIELD (yield what?) and so on. And the four-way stops. But it's fun. I love the US because, if you want it and you have the money, you can have it. What colour would you like?
Hey you guy's made it safely across the UK , Have to say Congratulations . Wow I'm so impressed .!!
Thank you so much Lee! You live in a beautiful country!
Hey - really enjoyed your video! My wife and I moved to England and experienced the same shock when it came to driving our first day here. It took some time to get used. Doesn’t help that the roads can be super narrow too!
Totally! We actually talk about that exact same thing in the next video in this series!
Glad you liked Brighton 😊great place normally pop down from Ashford in Kent once a month.
And so your back, all's well with the World again. Looking forward to your humorous Vlogs.
Yay!
Hi Caty, I follow Gott love and flik to your channel every now and then, thank you for visiting the UK and enjoying your time, you definitely came at the right time because we was having a heatwave something that only happens very few times here in the UK. You sound so excited just like when I visited Las Vegas myself and other parts of the United states, so glad that you toured other parts of the UK and not just stayed in London like many other visters do, the UK have many great places to see. Loved how you edited the vlog, looking forward to seeing more.😀
Love how much you enjoyed the UK, I myself am the opposite as I love Vegas and have been 4 times so far. Keep up the good work.
Hi ladies,
As a Brit what's the big deal driving on the left? I've driven in Europe, so on the right. The trick is to remember that the passenger is in the gutter and the driver is near the centre of the road. Works for me.
You have the luxury of living SO close to countries that drive on the right, as opposed to your country that drives on the left. Almost every country in the western hemisphere drives on the right, so I've literally never done it in my entire life. Not only that, but I believe when you drive in a country that drives on the right, when you're coming from somewhere that drives on the left, there's a gentle merge in traffic where they direct you to the right side. But that doesn't exist for people who just start driving out of the blue in the UK. So, 25 years of being on the right, having zero experience on the left, and immediately being dropped in the middle of traffic where everyone around you is used to and experienced at driving on the left makes for quite a bit of getting used to.
Looks like you had so much fun! And glad Blake is finally back home!
So cool to see new video. At least you come home safe and you enjoy your travel
That looked like so much fun! Only visited London and Reading so far. Always thought of visiting Scotland and other places outside of London. Now I can live vicariously through you! 😂
Glad to see that Blake is back! Missed your vlogs, Caty!
I really enjoyed watching this. You probably drove through West Sussex (my home) on your way to Cornwall. I actually learnt something from you, that shepherds pie is made from lamb and cottage pie is mince meat (beef). I never knew that! If you ever decide to return, please come to Bognor Regis, we have crazy golf!
"Once you get used to it, it'll be fine"... "you're on the wrong side!" LOL
And look what anne sacoolas did to Harry Dunn....
Omgggg your editing is amazing!!!!!!
The weathers been non-stop good for 6+months now with no more than 8 days of rain where i live. Summer before spring this year!
That's what I've heard! Wild weather!
Glad you had a great trip . You handled it like a boss driving on the left and shifting with your left hand . Welcome home Blake . Are you getting short yet on days left in the Air Force ?
Caty, I loved watching this! So fun to see the trip again :) Also... where did you find those pictures from 8th grade?!
Giiiirl I went on a facebook deep dive haha.
Great video. Good to see your perspective of this great country.
Absolutely love the UK and can't wait to visit again!
Ah, Lewes. Lovely town. One of my naughtier relatives is in Lewes prison at the moment :-)
Tell them we say hello! haha
Like Americans so respectful and sometimes so ill informed
Welcome back. Quite an adventure driving in Britain. Be happy you didn't have to take the British driving test. It has about a 70% failure rate. Glad you had a great trip and your back safe.
If you have the chance to come back to Lewes....come back in November ...
5th of November is Bonfire Night....and if it lands on a Saturday, there could be anything up to 70+ thousand people come to watch...
Look it up on TH-cam...its out of this World.. :)
My way of remembering the difference is that shepherds look after sheep - Shepherd's Pie!
I really like the filter you used from 6:35 - 7:05. What was it? I'm really enjoying your vlogs. Keep up the good work.
From the dialog, I assume the tourists are from Seattle (she mentions PS). Therefore is is reasonable for them to be surprised by miles/MPH and yards on UK road signs. When they cross into Canada they see km and KMH on all signage. As well Canadians drive on the right side of the road, not the sinister side. Part of the fun of travel is being surprised by differences. I hope the world NEVER becomes a stale sameness non-place.
I completely agree with you! And yep! From Seattle. :) Currently living in Las Vegas now though!
Visiting Vegas in may to get married and visit canyon hoover dam and possibly drive to la I’ve been driving 30 years and still shittin myself driving there lol
You gotta head down to Dorset and see Durdle Door, it's an absolutely gorgeous national heritage site right on the Jurassic Coast.
Oh man, I absolutely will next time!
I’m so excited to see more travel vlogs!!!!!! And I totally forgot to send those smoothie recipes! They’ll be in the mail soon😊
Driving abroad is terrifying for the first time. The first time I drove was in Spain. Picked the car up from the rental desk on the outskirts of the city, they gave us a map.....but not a street map so we had to find our way out of the city with no maps. Our satnav wasn't working, whilst still trying to master LHD cars.
Man, this sounds like a nightmare!
Hi! My wife and I are flying into Gatwick from JFK in September. I know this video is 3yrs old, but I was wondering why exactly it took so long for you to leave the airport? We are slated to arrive at 8am, and I planned to take a 10:15 train to Bath. Unrealistic?
Love your video and well done with the driving. I drove in the states a few years back and I was terrified to start with.
I live between Lewes and Brighton so it was interesting for me.
Look forward to watching the rest of your trip.
Loved your vlogs in wales and Devon. Will watch more. You showed the lovely side of the uk.
You're so sweet Benedict! I'm glad you enjoyed!
Isn’t it so weird! I’ve been in japan for almost two years now and going back to the states for almost a month soon and nervous driving the “normal” way especially now that I’m use to right hand drive driving standard vehicles
ugh i'm so glad y'all are posting again!
Talk about a whistle-stop tour! So much to cram in 15 minutes! Phew, I need a comfy bed now! Lovely weather for it though.
It was absolutely gorgeous, I had the best time!
So happy to see your face again! Looking forward to all of the Europe vlogs 😍
If you've never driven on the left side before or in the U.K the worst place you can start or go is London. It's super busy congested and people drive nuts. Try a smaller city or town. I wish Americans would realise there's way more to England than just london.
Bro... I literally didn't to to London at all on this trip. Check out the playlist linked in the pinned comment! I went all over England, Wales, Ireland and Scotland! ❤️
Nice video ladies, glad you enjoyed good ‘ol Blighty’ 👍🏻🇬🇧
BRIGHTON!!!!!! Totally going to meet up when you come over with blake!!
Next time you have to see the cliffs at Beachy Head In Eastbourne, they often get confused with the cliffs of Dover by some tourists when planning their visit online but are much much better
Ahhh I actually heard about them! I wish we had time to see them!
I loved watching this. Gotta love that TH-cam suggestions algorithm!
Haha I'm glad you enjoyed Robert! ❤️
Most people in the world are right handed so it makes more sense the way us Brits drive, left hand is normally the weaker hand so it'll likely cause more accidents and such
I'm part owners of the Lewes football club. Lewes was the first professional club in the world to pay men and women the same wage
That's so amazing!
Why am I only now learning of foot locks? So perfect if your hands are full (coffee & cookies usually)
Great videos. So good to see you didn't stop in London.
You guys know cider is alcoholic here, right? hahaha. Every American I've met here is always surprised by this, I'm guessing it's usually non-alcoholic over there?
Missed your vlogs!! Congrats on getting through the last deployment!!
If you guys do ever get a chance to go to Cornwall it really has some beautiful places Newquay is somewhere with a good nightlife or so good food it's like the Young hub of Cornwall.
Can’t believe you didn’t go to Durdle Door in Dorset. Best photo op place in the whole U.K. and you just have pretty much gone within 30 mins of it on the way to Dartmoor.
