Winchester

I went to Winchester with my family yesterday. I saw this train stop on our way to South Hampton but didn't take interest until the office organised a tour. I think it is very reasonable for £5 per person. The only problem is that, there aren't many places to go to. About 2 hours is enough to cover the whole place. 30 minutes on the Winchester Cathedral, 15 minutes on the Winchester Museum, - so small but free, 10 minutes on the Round Table and Park for 30 minutes. High Street looks usual with lesser shops than my town, Reading. The only good thing about the place is that, they have free and clean toilets everywhere! Even my mum point that out. :) Most of the museums are free as well but I'd rather go to London. Which brings me to my next trip.

South Hampton,England

Friends are very important to me. Strengthening my relationship with people is one of My New Year's Resolution. About 2 weeks ago, I proposed a monthly bonding with my girlfriends. It doesn't have to be big as long as we make ourselves available for one whole day.

We decided to go on a day trip this month, South Hampton. We met up at 10AM, Darlene was the earliest in town as her bus comes every hour. She said, we just missed the train and we have to wait for another hour before the next train arrives. Nevermind. 1 hour is short especially when you are with girl friends. It took us 50 minutes to get there. I was disappointed at first cause the place looked like an industrial area. We didn't plan for anything, Nadda! We just walked around town and luckily covered the whole city centre in a day. To give you an idea of how South Hampton looks like, think of a castle but build houses and small roads around it, put water docks at the edge and big shopping centre. It was new and old at the same time. Very interesting.
