In Australia we like to think of England as
being tiny, and laugh at the Poms because their entire country could fit into
our second smallest state. Well the last few days they have been definitely
been getting the last laugh….England is huge, at least when you’re driving
around looking for vans. Someone must have done their calculations wrong when
they worked out England could fit into Victoria…because every time we go to
look at a van that, on Google maps, appears to be just down the road in the
same county, or "just up the hill", its a four hour round trip, and thats travelling at the standard
motorway speed of about 130km/hour. How is it that in a country so small,
everything is so far away, even when everyone travels so fast? And its not even financially viable to go and
look at any vans within the “circle” of London, as it would cost about a tenth
of our entire van budget just for the two of us to commute in for the day! Who would have
thought I’d be saying this only a few days after leaving…but Adelaide is not
actually so bad!
