Off the Queen Mary 2 and Into London

Karen andI made it off the QM2 early this morning and caught the 9 am train to London from Southampton. By choosing to carry off our own bags, we were able to leave the ship at any time, rather than having to wait until 10:30 am for our assigned deboarding.

I have one picture on Karen's camera of the QM2 on the dock at Southampton which I took from the taxi on the way to the Southampton train station. We rode a new train into London Waterloo Station which took around 1 hour 20 minutes. From there we rode the tube out to East London to our trendy Hoxton Hotel, but we choose the wrong tube station, as it was closed for repair causing us to go to another one. Then rode in one of the classic London cabs for the short distance to the hotel.

The picture above is of me relaxing on the first day out on the Queen Mary 2, one of only a couple days of sunny weather. However, the seas were flat.
