From South East to South West

After leaving London Friday 8th March we have travelled to the White Cliffs of Dover, Southampton, St Hilary, Bristol then delivered the car back to Heathrow today (16th March).

Here is a sample of this journey:

As far as Southampton

The White Cliffs of Dover

Cold and windy but we had to walk on the pier!

We warmed to a nice Hot Chocolate

The Reading Agriculture Museum was filled with exhibits from 1400's and beyond

Good things come back to EWE.

They don't make Fire Trucks like this anymore and just as well.

After a nice lunch at the Pub with the group of BCF folk they took us for a walk around the ancient city.

After Church at Southampton we walked around the what once was a walled city.

We went to a Methodist Church at Southampton which was just around the corner from

where we stayed. A small congregation but the fellowship was warm.

A well deserved lunch, enjoyed by both of us.

The ferry to the Isle of Wight, seas were rough.

London experience

Its been a bit of a challenge navigating around the City of London, our flat was near Euston Station but it wasn't until the last day we had got our bearings and found the most direct route to the Tube.

Just a few of the sights!!!

Buckingham Palace - the Queen was home but not available for us to visit her personally. The Gurkhas were guarding the Palace, we watched them come from St James Palace to Buckingham Palace. It was great to march along side them as they went. It is all very crowded but we had an excellent guide.

Time to relax on the Hop On Hop Off River Cruise, passing all the sites from Westminster to Greenwhich, it was a 24 hour pass so we used it from 2pm to 2pm which worked well for us.
