Southampton, Salisbury...

We finished this leg of the trip in Southampton, and caught a coach to London with a great excursion along the way.

Our first stop was Salisbury- where we weren't able to see the Magna Carta because of Sunday worship. Salisbury is a beautiful city, and the Cathedral is breathtaking. Many half- timber buildings.
