Spain this morning:
Stunning cities
Astounding landscape
Charming, courteous people
Fabulous food at very reasonable prices
Relaxed lifestyle
Well-behaved children
Smooth and empty roads
High speed trains everywhere
No potholes even in the snowy mountains
No traffic cones
England this afternoon:
Birmingham

Shit weather
Traffic jams
Non roadworks almost all the way back. Miles of cones and nothing happening
High prices
News on the radio of collapse of East Coast rail franchise again
Idiots everywhere
It is like coming into a Thirld World country
