After saying our goodbyes, we headed to our last stop in the UK, Southampton. Our cruise departs here tomorrow so we wanted to learn as much as we could about this historic town.

We began by following England's well-preserved, third longest stretch of medieval town walling and stepped back in time to find out more about the Old Town.

Holyrood Church was one of the original five churches serving the old walled town. Built in 1320, the church was destroyed by enemy bombing during the blitz in November 1940. In 1957 the shell of the church was dedicated as a memorial to the sailors of the Merchant Navy.
Nowhere was the tragedy of the Titanic disaster more felt than here, where more than 500 households lost a family member. Memorials were plentiful.

Best deal and taste of fish & chips came at the Standing Order Bar. Note the price £6.25 for this huge plate and a refreshing pint of beer. Score!
Our day ended at The Blue Keys Hotel for our last British slumber. This was an idyllic sojourn in a delightful country.
