Next up, Southampton, aka Soto. (Spring Break)

So, from Manchester, I took a red eye train to Southampton, to visit my dear friend Tremayne :)
The train was pretty nice.
Here's a look of the inside. As it was a red-eye, it was rather empty, eerily empty.
My ticket and my planner.
Tremayne is an amazing tour guide! Thanks man! I reached Southampton at about 10am, and we caught another train to go to visit the Stonehenge rightaway. (Because of time constraint, I was carrying my close to 40 pounds backpack with me all the time.)This is Tremayne. (He's on my blogroll too... Single and available, interested? I can be a matchmaker...) LOL... (pic taken by Tremayne)

Again, it was really windy... But, perfect weather otherwise. (pic taken by Tremayne)

Amazing, isn't it?

Look at the white dots on the field. They are sheep. :)

After the tour to Stonehenge, we went back to Southampton, and Tremayne took me around downtown for a quick tour, pretty nice harbor town.

Early next morning, I took a bus to London Heathrow Airport, and went back to Ann Arbor to get ready for the 2nd half of the semester energized. :)

And, below showed pictures of my 'harvests'...
Everything cleared from my backpack onto my bed.

Something for St. Patrick's Day. (less than two weeks from the day I got back from Europe)


And, some leftover foreign currencies (Euros, and Sterling Pounds) ... One thing I learned about Euros and Sterling Pounds. You can have 20-30 dollars worth of coins in your pocket. So, when you want to spare some change, do think again. :) Imagine a 2 sterling pounds coin, that's 4 dollars!

That's about it. My trip to Europe was definitely a great one! An eye opening experience. Also, taught me a lot about traveling alone. Really, huge thanks to Chee Han and friends, Zhi Hui, the Barnacles bunch I met at Dublin, Ireland, Kim Tat, and last but not least, Tremayne for making my trip to Europe an amazing one! "There's vacation that you will remember, and there's vacation that you'll never forget." (quoted from a TV commercial) This was definitely a trip that I'll never forget!
