January 11, 2010 Southampton, England
Today it is in the low 40’s as we reach Southampton. The tour excursions have been canceled because of the snow and ice there. We did not have one scheduled, but we took the shopping bus to the West Quay mall. We walked around the 3 floors at least twice and only went in just a few stores. We passed up going to IKEA. It was next door, but didn’t need anything from there for awhile.
The side walks were icy but very little snow. They don’t have the equipment we have in the Midwest and react like southern states.
We were transferred back to Table 69 with two couples with Susan and Gilbert as our servers. We did get rid of candelabra.
We left port with over 600 on the World Voyage. There are about 200 before arriving (mostly USA and Canadians). It is always interesting to see where everyone comes from.
I have been taking some computer classes and Jan has been going to some of the lectures and participated in “Mastermind” show, but did not fare very well, but it was interesting to see it played out. It is a BBC TV show and the actual host did the show. She has done a couple exercise classes and found muscles that had not been used for sometime. We’re looking forward to warmer weather and walking outside.
