The Britannia ferry ride across the channel was quite pleasant. We had flat water all the way to Portsmouth, and the amenities on the ferry like seating and food are excellent and stand as one of the best meals in France.
Since we couldn’t’ take Ford we walked on the Ferry and walked off. Well actually you ride on a bus from the terminal to the ship through security, where actual French border police boarded the bus and stamped our passports.
On the other end walk on passengers had to wait a bit as
some of the 200 vehicles were cleared out then another bus took us to the
almost head of the British customs queue, where unbelievable we got another
passport stamp. Two stamps in one day after having no opportunity to get any
was almost overwhelming, and our British custom agent sensing our jubilation
held up the queue as she told us aboot must see sights in the UK.
Proper English Raven
Since it was now almost midnight the sight I wanted to see
the most in Great Briton was a taxi that could take us to our lodging in
Southampton. Cabs were plenty right outside the terminal and before long we
were on our way. The young driver even hefted the bags into his carriage and
hefted them to the Guest House Door.
It was an 80 £ pound ride but we went right to the Regent
Guest House and the key was right in the key box that opened with the combo
that the manager had sent me via e mail. She had also told me that room 10 was
on the first floor. She didn’t explain that the ground floor was not the first
floor, so after much quiet exploration I discovered the lift and room 10. It
didn’t take much time after that to get to settled in.Not having Ford, we had to utilize other transportation options to travel to Stonehenge. The train from Southampton central to Salisbury was only a few pounds, and about 35 minutes time. Once in Salisbury we walked right up to a tour bus bought tickets and soon were walking up the lane to the Druids Stonehenge.
