Express By Holiday Inn Southampton West

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 ...

... woops. I'm still in one piece so its all good. Must have given the driver a heart attack...<br><br>Deidre and John also took me around the New Forest and showed me an old oak tree that is 600 years old!!! And of course we had lunch in a pub, a nice roast with HUGE... I mean HUGE Yorkshire puddings. Beaulieu is a lovely place too, an old Abbey sits on the rive in town. I saw where Ric************ owned a huge place within the forest. Christchurch ...

Visited this town while I was visiting my Uncle in Portsmouth. Its a lovely little place, well not little but seems about the size of Newcastle. Not that I have seen its outskirts etc.<br><br>When I arrived I went to have a look at the old wall and the old castles etc set up by Henry the VI I think. But it started to pour down so I went ...

... terminal in style - american balloons and the writing on the car all looked brilliant. Queueing with balloons as well as bags is not easy but we managed to get them through security and into the cabin !! Lots of the oldies onboard now know us as the crazy couple that turned up with the balloons...<br>Also straight back on to the Champers for the grand sail-away...<br><br>XX

... not wanted to repeat the days events I went out in search of a sandwich. Now, this is why I like the Yotel, the micro/mini hotels located in the airport terminal it's self. The rooms might not be much bigger than a postage stamp but they are clean comfortable and convenient. One short elevator and you are in the middle of the terminal with restaurants and coffee shops galore. There was even a Marks &amp; Spencers grocery so I was able to get a sandwich, sparkling water, bag of ...

... a while I kinda just wanted to get accross. From there we went over to the Winston Churchill museum but didn't go inside because it was too expensive to go in. So we just decided to jump on the bus and do a tour of london from bus to bus. We got an all day pass of course. I got to see the financial district, a couple of lawyer buildings, the mayors building, the priministers building. I thought to myself, "hmmm does everyone has their own building?"

... the Abbey and was interested so Louise headed that way. It started raining just as we got to the Abbey but we walked around anyway and checked it out. The abbey was undergoing some archaeological project and the team was trying to map out the rest of the Abbey structure what was no longer standing. Outside the Abbey was a very nice garden with all kinds of paths winding through it. We walked outside the Abbey and followed a foot trail to ...

... line! Anyway, over the years they have made many friends here, probably some of the kindest and most generous people I have met. They have given me a place to stay, toured me around town, introduced me to other friends, and included me in various gatherings. And I have only been here 4 days! So, while I won't be visiting a new country every few days for a while, I do hope to explore the area and possibly go on a few weekend breaks. I already have ...
