Southhampton to London

We were picked up at the pier as we disembarked and headed for London with stops at Salisbury Cathedral, Stonehenge and Windsor Castle.

The cathedral was truly magnificent and has the highest steeple in Britain, all on a foundation only 3 feet deep.  It is one of the great churches of the British Isles.

We were delighted to revisit Stonehenge.  We have been fascinated with stone circles throughout Europe and it was great to have the opportunity to visit the best known of them all.

Our final stop was Windsor where we visited the castle.  This is the largest castle in the world and we had an extensive tour through the grounds and the State Rooms.  The State Rooms were fantastic but sorry no photos allowed.

I just wrote a long, carefully thought out response but the computer ate it.

I did have to go and get a ruler to work out how shallow three feet was in metric.
