My trip started at 2pm on Monday afternoon in Newark and ended at 11:30am the next day in Southampton. I arrived to the hotel in a fog. Luckily, I was able to get into my hotel room early, but first a cup of tea and a smoked salmon sandwich. It was only after I left some money on the table to pay and was chased by the waitress that I discovered that the British Pound has changed since I last visited the UK (and they no longer except the older money). Oops.

After a nap, I decided to wander the city for a while. I was surprised to discover that most things shut down early (the mall was closed by 8pm). Southampton has three large parks and it was nice to watch a cricket match for a little bit.

Wednesday I wandered some more and went to the movies (next post). There was also a happy hour where I got to meet staff and faculty. Everyone seems great and I'm excited to meet them more formally tomorrow during orientation. Tomorrow we get on the boat!
Here's my walk and what I saw:
