Saturday in London was cloudy, and humid. Went for a long walk on the Embankment - started out early to avoid the crowds. It is peak holiday season here, so there are crowds everywhere. The trick is to have jet lag and be ready to go around 6.00 am!
The recent problems dont seem to have affected the numbers at all - Londoners are out and about.So this morning, we set out early for Southampton - the trains can get crowded, and it is hard if you have luggage. Southampton is a pretty city - parts of the medieval wall surround parts of the city -they are cleverly incorporated into the rest of the town development. Over half of the original wall is still in- tact, and there are 13 original towers. The history goes back to Roman and Saxon times. It does make our history a little brief.
The weather has turned a little - poured while we were out - I gave a pretty good wet t-shirt impression by the time we got back.
We await our boat - it is in France tonight - sailing back overnight.
I have included a couple of sights from yesterday's wander, even a view of Hungerford Bridge - who said London was crowded?
More later
