Then after switching seats with a woman and her young son, the flight attendants treated us to free snacks and offered us morning booze. We passed on the booze, but departed the plane stocked up on enough snacks to make a lunch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As we pedaled away from Heathrow, we dove head first into a high speed roundabout and survived. Riding on the left side of the road while lacking a day&#8217;s worth of sleep was exhilarating. Cars come at you from directions you don&#8217;t expect and in lanes you dismissed for driveways.

Sleep came fast and in large quantities. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It was a great first day and a nice introduction to England.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If the first day of our trip foreshadows how the rest of our trip will go, then I&#8217;m looking forward to living the next five months.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/rideeatcamp.local\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4562"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/rideeatcamp.local\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/rideeatcamp.local\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/rideeatcamp.local\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/rideeatcamp.local\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4562"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"http:\/\/rideeatcamp.local\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4562\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/rideeatcamp.local\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4562"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/rideeatcamp.local\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4562"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/rideeatcamp.local\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4562"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
