Journeying to Southampton

Well here we are safely in Southampton.  Left home yesterday about 3.00pm.  Left the red car with Ash.  We left from Southern Cross via the Skybus Candice and Ash came and waved goodbye which was lovely.  Very smooth book in etc.  left Melbourne at 10.00pm on 30.06.17 plane change in Doha a gorgeous new airport it was being built the last time we went through in 2011 very serene and peaceful. Our flight to London on time etc landed at 1.00pm their time efficient process collection of luggage etc out by 2.00pm straight onto the train f rom Heathrow Terminal 4for Green Park very busy for a Saturday then a change to the Jubilee Line which took us to Waterloo then our train to Southampton arrived here at 5.22 so all in all very good indeed.  It took exactly 36 hours so we are a little tired tonight.  All went well though, so the main thing really.  I did meet a very lovely young couple sitting next to me on the Doha to London leg mid 20s I guess, from Canberra they were going to Spain as the young girl is Spanish and then to Croatia as the young man is Croatian.  I told them they would fall in love with Dubrovnic and Madrid as neither of them has been in the country of their origin before.  We also met a team of Greek bicycle riders whilst swapping trains, Gordy did have all these trains planned to the minute he is indeed a great travel agent went like clockwork.  Tomorrow is the beginning of the Baltic cruise few days of relaxation at sea before we get right into it,  Keep you posted all the best Sabine xx and Sam  xx
