Driving on the other side is fun!! It was really strange at first but ended up being quite exciting. The only scary part so far was turning right - I cant just slip around the corner! That being said, having a GPS system telling me to 'take the second exit at the roundabout' REALLY helped. Like, fantastic, I never want to drive without one!!
The drive from Cambridge to Bradford took 3 hours through middle-England. Passed by Lincoln and Doncaster - was fun to wave at Lincoln. Bradford is near Leeds and York, and is a very much 'working' town. It used to be a big industrial town, mostly textiles, and it feels like its in the middle of converting from the late 1800-s into the 2000's. Some pretty buildings but also some areas 'in construction'.
After arriving at my cousins and meeting her house mates we went on a drive around Bradford, taking in Lister Park and it's museum as well as driving around the city to find the Cathedral. It turned out to be closed, but we only found that out after walking in, so got to hear their choir belting out some songs.
We went for dinner at Toby's Carvery, a buffet restaurant that piles on the food. I got made fun of by a number of people for saying York-shire (as in Sh-eye-er) instead of Yorkshire ('sure'), which was actually kind of irritating. Anyway...
not sure what the plan is for tonight, probably vegitating and watching a movie. I dont have regular internet access so unfortunately wont be uploading photos anymore - at least not until I get home... sorry!! I'll try keep the blog happening as often as possible.
Now I'm going to go plan out my next 2 days!
