When we de-planed at Heathrow on the tarmac, we were escorted to buses for a 3 ,onute bus ride to the UK Border inside the International Terminal. We waited in a serpentine line like at Disney for the automated passport control.
It was easy and after our passports were scanned we did not have to have our bags opened or anything. We just walked through the "nothing to declare" area and we were officially in the UK.
We took a bus to the car rental agency and picked up the car.
Rob drove first and I was the navigator. Driving on the left was interesting. There were many roundabouts on the way, mostly on the A40 road to Cheltenham. One of the really odd things was that some of the roundabouts had stoplights just before entering the roundabout! I had thought that the roundabouts we're supposed to eliminate the need for intersection stop signs or lights.
About 1 1/2 hours of driving we arrived in Cheltenham.
