Arrival – Day 0
The flight with Wizz air was absolutely alright. We arrived to Gatwick on 24th of May on time at 7pm GMT.
To kick start our South West England road trip, we needed to get the booked car from the budget rental at the airport outskirts.
Well, we took a wrong bus, got out of it bit late and had to wait for another one going the opposite direction. Afterwards there were still some, (not few) hundreds of walking meters to get to the Green Motion. For all of that, just blame me. I thought, the on demand call to pick us up from the airport by the rental car, would be too expensive to rather consider a short bus drive (which took us approx. 1 hour) 🤦♂️.
The VW Golf we booked with Green Motion (for as little as 25€ a day) turned out to be Nissan Juke, a pretty new one, with less than 3000 miles on it’s counter.
For sure, our first miles in it were a bit shy (manual gearbox, in the left hand, sitting on the right seat) but we somehow managed to reach our goal of the day, Portsmouth.
