We took a early flight to London, where we rented a supercool Tesla Roadster sportscar from the rental car service at the airport. This car is eco-friendly and it's not a bad thing that it looks just as good as it does.
Before we started our long journey we decided to just take a chill day in London. And we started with lunching in Hyde Park. We ordered sandwiches from Speedy's Sandwich Bar & Cafe and then went for some shopping in Oxford Street. Topshop, a famous store in England had a massive sale and we just had to go in. We walked in the store with nothing in our hands, but when we walked out our hands were totally full.
After a day full of walking we were so tired. So we figured out that we should check in at a closeby hotel for the night. We found a availible room at The Langham Hotel London. A beautiful five stars hotel, very expensive but it was so worth it!
After a good night sleep we started the trip against Nottingham. We listened to a lot of good, loud music and had a lot of fun singing and dancing to the awesome music. Halfway to Nottingham we were starving and suddenly a McDonald's sign sparkling against us and we had to pull over. We ate so much that our stomachs were bursting.
When we reached Northampton we noticed we had to charge the vehicle. There were something wrong with the charger that made the charging take a while longer, so in the meantime we went to the Sixfields Stadium and watched a really boring, but amusing football game.
When we arrived in Nottingham we figured out something totally crazy. WE WERE GOING SKYDIVING!! We discovered this company called British Parachute Schools, which is located at Skydive Langar, close to Nottingham. I was so terrified before we jumped and I thought of everything that could go wrong.. But it was a lot of fun, and a memory to keep for the rest of our lives.
On the way to our last stop on this journey, York, we got in the middle of a long waiting line of cars because of some road work. Therefore we arrived York long after the estimated time.
We visited the York Minister Cathedral, it is one of the greatest cathedrals from the middle age in England and Northern Europe's largest gothic cathedrals. It was built by Henry III in 1220. We entered a guided tour through the cathedral, which lasted for about two hours. This visit made us feel like grown ups.
This was our last stop at this roadtrip, unfortunately. We returned the car at the nearest car rental service in York, then got on a plain back to Oslo. This trip was unforgettable, thanks to my fantastic friend Carina!
