Ship ahoy

Sitting on the bus to Southampton just waiting to leave trying to ignore the annoyance I feel at hearing American voices. Why must they be so loud? Plus they are happy about their new president.

We had a good last couple of days at Anne and Del’s. We went with them on Saturday to do some errands, always fun to visit stores in different countries. We did not go to a bonfire on Guy Fawkes but heard fireworks all night long. Tried to go out for supper but every place was packed with people who were out for the celebrations.

We had a good time in London too. We stayed in the same place as last time, a convenient location close to the tube. And it did feel good knowing where we were going when we got off the bus from Oxford. 

Went to Greenwich, spent a whole day there and still did not get to everything. The Maritime Museum was so good. We took a boat back up the river.

Yesterday we went to the London Transport Museum. It took us four hours to go through it, it was so interesting. Anne was in town for work so we met her one last time at a yummy ramen restaurant for an early supper. We were so happy to see her one more time.

Up early today to get to the bus station. I was a bit worried about hauling my big suitcase up the steps at Victoria Station but it was fine.

Trying to post a picture. If it works, the bus on the left was built the year I was born.
