Souff Hampton

Next came Saturday when I didn't go the gym and instead slept in and got up in just enough time to shower and get ready to head to Southampton with my mum-in-law to visit my bro-in-law for the day. We toured a bit around the old town of "Souff Hampton" as they often say in Southampton. Phil and I are standing here in front of the old city gate that now lead to the older parts of the city. Parts of the wall are still standing, so we did a little mini walk around part of the city wall that faces the sea. It was very windy. We had a nice lunch in a cafe and visited the Titanic museum where they have information about the British people who were on the ship as well as some of the general stuff you find out in the history books. It was very interesting. Then that night we all (meaning in-laws and Tim and I) stayed in the Southampton Holiday Inn (in separate next door rooms not unlike our home living situation) although the next morning, we were awoken by a phone call from our next door "neighbor" to inform us that a cruise ship, Independence of the Sea, had docked overnight and was waiting right outside our window. It was very surprising. Incidentally we were staying in Southampton because that is where Phil lives, and we went to visit him at his house for a bit until Tim and his dad met us down there after the Barnet game. Overall it was a very nice day.
