South Hampton (London), England

Hello Mates!

I have arrived to England! Our boat docked in South Hampton on the
5th. There is not much to see here so a couple of friends and I decided
to spend our time in London. We took the train to London and when we
arrived our first mission was to find our hotel. Conveniently but
unintentionally we walked past the Houses of Parliament, Big Ben,
Buckingham Palace, and the London Bridge. I was amazed by all the
detailed architecture around the city.... Even the light poles were
beautiful! We eventually arrived at our hotel after a 3 hour walk..
relaxed then went to dinner where we met some locals who showed us
around town. That evening we went to were all the clubs are and
experienced that for a little where I unintentionally ran into some
Queens guards! The next day we toured the city by foot just to see what
it was all about. I was thoroughly impressed with my map reading skills.
We didn't get lost once! During our walking adventure we went on the
London Eye which is the third largest Ferris wheel in the world. You
were able to see the whole city of London. It was amazing... thanks for
the recommendation Leann! London was a beautiful city with many things
to see. There was never a dull moment! The next day the 7th we ventured
to Stonehenge. It was amazing to me that there were these rocks placed
in such an artist way and know one really knows why they are there.
There of course is some theories but there is no definite answer!
Tonight we will be leaving South Hampton and venturing on to Dublin! YAY
for some chocolate!!!

Stay tuned!
