Hey guys! Welcome back to my UK road trip blog!
I started jotting down this journey last week, mainly so I can keep everything here and look back on it in the future, like a little time capsule of this trip.
If you haven’t read the London part of my UK trip yet, you can catch up HERE.
I shared everything from our arrival in London, how we planned our city days, plus some really useful tips on renting a car in the UK and one accommodation that I genuinely think was worth every penny.
And today’s post is where the real road trip begins.
After a few days in London, we finally picked up our rental car and officially started our journey.
It honestly felt a little surreal at first, going from taking the Tube everywhere to suddenly sitting in the driver’s seat, adjusting to driving on the opposite side, and trying to get used to roundabouts that seem to come out of nowhere.
Everything felt new again in the best way.
London was amazing, but this was a different kind of excitement, more freedom, more spontaneity, and a lot more “let’s just see where the road takes us.”
There was also this quiet moment right before we left the city, like a small mental shift.
No fixed train schedules, no rushing to catch lines, just us, the car, and a map full of places we wanted to slowly explore.
And just like that, the road trip officially started.
So without sharing too much at once, let’s get into day one of the journey now…
