We are stuck in traffic right now... Our engine is off, and for the first day it is raining. The channel was dark and full of white caps, it was really windy, and pretty cool. We are on the M25, south of London on the way to Stone Henge, and eventually Bristol. Annnnnd my battery is at 3%......
SO! We were stuck between junction 8 and 9 on M25 for about an hour. It was pretty humorous when Laura had to go to the bathroom. It was raining, and my Dad got out of the car in the middle of the motorway (freeway) and began scoping things out, as soon as he did, so did the rest of the freeway. It was basically a parking lot for a long time. We heard on the radio that a lourie (a big rig) had turned over and they couldn’t get it out of the way. When things finally started moving, we realized that the truck had actually turned over only a couple hundred yards in front of us. Had we been going a tiny bit faster, we possibly could have avoided the whole mess, or heaven forbid, been a part of it.
The sad thing is because of our long delay, on top of a second over turned lourie, a missed turn and other traffic, we had to skip all our attractions today, and head straight into Bristol. So we are in the hotel room, and we plan for stonehenge tomorrow! woo!
