I am back too!

Post by Captain Jack »

...from the US of A! I must say that after thinking I'd hate it, I absolutely loved it there. New York makes London look like a hamlet in the middle of a forest. I've also been to Washington and Hamptons on Long Island. Going to NYC again for New Year's. That should be quite something!

Oh and I am going to Russia for 3 weeks next week, so don't miss me toooooo much :D

And here's our car that we hired on Long Island:

It was ... S-L-O-W! Automatic and what felt like a 500cc engine. No idea why it had 2 exhausts.

But to drive on American country roads was nothing short of spectacular. Smooth, long straight roads, perfect sky, sunshine.. aaahhhhh. None of those huge pot holes and stupid bends. Just pure relaxation (as it would be at 55mph speed limit :P).
