Winchester Cathedral.......

We are now in jolly England. After a long day from Nice to Paris to London to Waterloo Station to Winchester we arrived about 10 pm. Tuesday we explored the town. We had a great tour of the history. Learned about King Arthur, Bishops, Wolvesey Castle (really was a palace), Winchester College and more. Norm would have to fill in the details later. (history being his thing). Today we are about to check out the market, get food for our next 3 day walk of the South Downs and learn more about Winchester. We just learned that it is a bank holiday this weekend which makes for difficulty finding accommodations. With no bag service to carry you packs, we have been trying to figure out how to do walk and not carry our stuff. So we are off by bus to Cocking, hike to Amberley, then Steyning and then maybe Lewes. If that is too much we will take a bus (I'll suggest it:) And then we will have to come all the way back to Winchester to get our bag. For those using a map, check out our route. We did part of the South Downs a few years ago and this will a different part, closer to the start. Weather is looking good so off we go. Hope to report back in a few days. After the hikes of Italy, it should be a piece of cake.
