Winchester, Southhampton, England - June 2024

 We took the train from Knaresborough to Winchester via York and London. It was a complicated transfer in London. With help from Denise's written instruction and people at train stations in London, we made the transfer through. We had hotel reservation for one night in Winchester before going to Southhampton to catch our cruise.
