Winchester Cathedral, Titanic and getting lost!

Monday afternoon saw Becky, Chrissy (a friend of Becky's) and I go to Winchester, to walk around the Cathedral. It was very beautiful in a magical sort of way. There was some entertaining moments, like a young couple sitting on the grass in the grounds of the cathedral, making out amongst the headstones in the ground. And small doorways lined with roses and ivy, just high enough for me to walk through without knocking myself out in the process.



Tuesday saw me getting - wait for it - lost... Again. In Southampton city center this time however. I caught a bus, the first bus I've caught in England so far, (not including the bus I caught for the tour of London!) and I made my way to the docks of Southampton. The driver let me stop earlier than the docks, so I could walk along the Southampton wall, a broken, ruined wall skirting around the city of Southampton. The wall walk found me at the museum for the Atlantic Ocean cruiser RMS Titanic (RMS Titanic was the largest passenger steamship in the world when she set off on her maiden voyage from Southampton, England, on 10 April 1912. Four days into the trip, on 14 April 1912, she struck an iceberg and sank, resulting in the deaths of 1,517 people in one of the deadliest peacetime maritime disasters in history.)

The museum was actually quite eerie. There were relics of things brought back to the surface from the Titanic wreck, buttons and pictures, stories from survivors. When I left the museum, that's when I got lost. I found a place to eat - a huge mall - West Quay, full of shops I've never heard of, and found a post office to get stamps, then got lost. I was trying to find the bus stop I needed to catch to get back to Becky's place. There was honestly 6 bus stops I had to chose from. And they were still the wrong ones! But I finally spoke to a bus driver, and she pointed out the stop I needed to be at. So my lost feeling stopped there.

And now I am getting a little ready to go to a pub known as 'The Hobbit', a Lord of the Rings themed pub. Shall be very interesting, so here goes!
