Southampton

Well our last day is here! It’s gone by so fast but at the same time the beginning of the trip feels like years ago. We decided to get up early and have breakfast and walk down to the port to see the Queen Mary 2. It was in port as well as a Princess ship that we couldn’t see the name of. Southampton is a really nice town with beautiful gardens, a really nice main street with shops and cafe’s and a nice harbour. We walked to see the ruins of a church and also stopped to read the bricks on the sidewalk that gave a brief overview of the history of Southampton which was really interesting. The town is not very big so everything is really close and it has a rail line which can take you anywhere you would like to go, London is only an hour by rail. We will definitely come back here next time we come to England even if we just use it as a base to go out to other places. Other than Windsor it is probably our favourite place in England that we visited so far.
