In London, low 30s IS too hot! Unless you're lucky enough to be somewhere that has air-con.
The longest day is just a few days away (21st) after which the nights start to draw in, but as I type this at 9.20 (you can use both the 12 and 24 hour clocks, you know!) it's dusk but still light enough to see out!
Come July, August, and most of September it will be high 30s (that's the 90s to me) much of the time. The 80sF is a break in the heat. Plus we have humidity out the wazoo!
All the websites I've been to list times in military time so I've been practicing subtracting twelve from all the times I've seen. Luckily clocks only go to twelve!
Got it. Excellent about the dark/not really dark. Thanks for telling me about the ground floor and the first floor, etc. Now I won't embarrass myself. (I'm determined to not be that American tourist. You know the one - the one that makes the rest of us look bad.)
Nope. Basically I haven't been much of anywhere before, let alone overseas. Which makes this little jaunt of mine all the more surreal because I'm going on my own.
I've been to Victoria and Sooke, both of which are in British Columbia, Canada. And Seattle, and Sedona (loved it there).
Military time? I don't think I've ever heard military time being used in the UK, except occasionally in transport (which is sort of the same as in the US). Oh the look left and right is such an interesting thing... in Sydney when they held the Olympics they painted LOOK LEFT and LOOK RIGHT on all of the big roads... worried that Americans would get run over. But, to be honest with you, after doing a lot of left-hand drive/right-hand drive traveling, I was pretty glad of it!!!!
Yeah, lots of lovely twilight time at this time of year. You're gonna have a blast, mate! I'm still pondering on the not eating goldfish on the plane bit. I'm a bit worried.
Thank god I read this before I went to bed. I might have been dreaming of you smuggling and swallowing actual goldfish!
Oh yeah, the booking online stuff is the same as in the US and everywhere else, I think it's just a way of managing stuff online where writing AM and PM becomes trickier! But I promise people don't actually say 16.30. And I still say if you're crossing a street in London looking left AND right is probably a grand idea!
