Write fast! Is it possible that I already miss London? I had a minor mishap getting on the wrong train to Southampton. Apparently the one that leaves at 1:35 is totally different that the one that leaves at 1:39. Okay. A nice stern old Englishman helped me figure it out, though and I made my way quite painlessly to Southampton. It looks a bit like home, old industrial area. Very much like the suburbs of Detroit, actually. I broke down and went to McDonalds since it was literally right ouside my hotel window. They all thought my accent was oh-so-funny.
The hotel I'm staying at is adorable and very efficient in an Ikea sort of way. It had a TV though, and I was very amused to find 24 hour coverage on something Russell Brand said to some old Faulty Towers actor. And we're prudes? Anyway I'm moving to Southamptons only hostel, the Brimar Guest House which was nearly impossible to reach by telephone. I cannot be more adorable than my Ikea hotel but I'm sure it'll be lovely.
I'm seeing my Aussie bff today, who is staying with family here in what the locals call Soton. I can't wait as I have missed her terribly.
30 seconds to go!
