A Laid-back Day in Southampton

We slept late, and had the hotel breakfast. On the advice of a couple we met last night, we walked over to the restaurant and bought a bus day pass- £9 to cover both of us.

The 17 bus goes through many, many neighborhoods and ends up downtown near Primark and the WestQuay Mall. We walked around and found my Flying Tiger- Copenhagen store. It moved from the last location we visited. Since my brand new pens hadn't worked, I got some new pens and clips, and some nut bars.

Wayne needed a sit-down, so we found a secluded Cosi in a store, and enjoyed some quiet and bevs. I also picked up a tea cake (sort of like a cross between an English muffin and a hamburger bun, with raisins. I ate half and saved the rest in my ever-handy ziplock bag.

I got some makeup at Boots, then we walked across the walking street which had trees welcoming Fall. Then through Primark, and back onto a 17 bus.

We thought it was very convenient that the bus dropped us off at the restaurant - but discovered that reservations were needed for inside seating. It was a tad too cool for us to sit outside, so we went back to the hotel and had a bite in their dining room.Leia mais
