Tuesday, 27 September 2011 - Traveled from Dublin to South England, flew on a challenging airline, picked up a rental car, navigated England's left-side driving to South Lodge Inn enjoyed a scenic countryside setting with forest views from the patio, and finished the evening with dinner in Horsham after a long day on the road.

Most of this day was spent traveling from Dublin to West Sussex. First a plane trip on the worst airline we have ever had the displeasure of riding - Ryan Air. They have pretty strict weight requirements and of course we (our bags!) are over weight. Also, Cal was carrying all of his photography gear and both of us had laptops. Then we rented a car in England - left side driving. We had loaded the Garmin with England for GPS help but it was not syncing to the satellites so Virginia Ann was pressed into service - and did a great job guiding us to the hotel.

This is the South Lodge Inn - a beautiful old lodge in the middle of a green landscape. If you really study you can see Virginia Ann sitting on the patio enjoying a beer. Well she is pretty small way over on the right edge of the picture.

Much closer to Virginia Ann and the beer. A great lodge - wonderful service - and a beautiful setting.

Soon after this we jumped into the car and drove into Horsham for dinner. We walked along a street closed to cars for a restaurant. There were several and after a long day of travel we settled for a casual Italian place - Pizza Express Restaurants.
