Last night, I was playing around with Google Maps and found this one out, google seriously wants you to swim from london to new york. you don’t believe me? Well then follow this steps 
1. jump over to google maps http://maps.google.com/
2. Select “Get Directions” it’s right underneath the searchbox
3. Then start from zurich or london or somewhere in europe.
4. go check step 25
Funny enought though, if you start from Lisbon, Madrid or Barcelona you are always being directed to the UK first.. wouldn’t it make more sense to “drive”, “fly” a direct line and save energy?
