Chilworth Manor Classic Hotel Southampton

Hello everybody <br><br>We are still alive and well. We are in Cambodia at the moment. Apoligies for not sending any travel blogs for a while. As we're are trying to do 2 blogs at the same time it has become too much to keep both of them going simultaneously, so this one has been neglected for a while. If any of you are interested in our travels I can add your email ...

... I even saw a picture of the bathing compartments pulled by horses into the water so people could swim without anyone seeing them in their swimmers. I'm presuming it was for the women! I also presume their swimmers were neck to ankle... lol what would they think these days!!<br><br>I was going to have lunch on the pier but they weren't selling any food.. ah well you can't have it all your own way!

... They have these cycle paths.. I did only about 5% of them so there is heaps more to discover when I go back. I also managed to do some jogging ... whew my poor old knees didn't like it all... but the scenery was so lovely. The leaves were all turning, animals were wondering around it didn't feel you were in a country of 60 million people at all.<br><br>One day I had a ride for about 3-4 hours, ended up in a small place called Fritham... I had some ...

We had breakfast at the IBIS Hotel in Southampton and then went for a walk around the West Quay Shopping Centre and discovered the biggest IKEA we have ever seen. We went back to the hotel for about 11:30 and checked out. The taxi got us to the Mayflower terminal at about 12:30 and by 13:15 we were in the Belvedere restaurant on board Arcadia having Lunch. We set sail at 16:30 on our way to Madeira

... instead.. lol. I still can't get over that they don't have huge shopping centres, everyone still has to walk between shops in the wet!<br><br>While I was there I had to work out how I was going to get from the railway to the catch the bus to the New Forest. My next port of call!<br><br>Southampton is also famous, well in the olden days ...

... who consider the only natural non-medical part of pregnancy to be the conception! I chose to see a midwife at home as I am of the former mindset so was much comforted by the method of non-invasive treatment that I was receiving. I received what would be the equivalent to the prenatal appointment and all the tests came back normal but still I was not right. Then after feeling the baby give a few strong kicks, the first since I fainted I started to relax. Then more as they ...

... pies, cheeses and sausages. It was really interesting. Well that is it for my trip to the UK. I will be leaving for Florida on Wednesday. For the next couple days I will just be hanging around Southampton. I will be sure to give you updates if anything interesting should come. But if not see you on my next journey to Belize later this week!

... the impression it's like a Macy's. We then went to Marks &amp; Spencer's which is another of England's major shops. According to Louise this is where everyone gets their "pants" which in England refers to your underpants. After doing a bit of shopping we decided to leave the mall and do some walking around. Southampton is a major port city situated halfway between Portsmouth and Bournemouth. By the late 13th century, Southampton had ...

... and it has a gorgeous view of the grounds and the sea. It even had a moat! Quite a small one, hard to imagine it keeping anything out really, but still, it was a moat. On the way there we stopped and had lunch at a lovely pub, which also looked out over the sea. On a clear day you can see the Isle of Wight, but unfortunately it was quite a foggy day. Great food though! http://www.castlexplorer.co.uk/england/ portchester/portchester.php
