thus putting your children off on public transport for the rest of their lives.
when we first stayed in london we took the tube just about everywhere. the second year, seren and her fiance talked us into riding the bus instead so we could see more of the city. which we did.
we, too, marveled at the skill of the bus drivers to be able to make incredibly sharp turns -- at least, we were able to marvel at their skill after the first several sharp turns when we were both absolutely convinced the double-decker bus was going to overturn, slamming us on top of the next lane of traffic or the sidewalk.
having grown up driving in DC area rush hour, i consider myself to be a fairly good city driver. what those bus drivers do, though, is a league well beyond anything i'd ever attempt.
