We took the train at Waterloo Station. It was easy and we got lucky we didn't had to wait too long, the train was ready to go as we entered in. The journey is about a 70 minutes pleasant ride.
Winchester is the Hampshire capital, situated south of England.
On Sunday, there was a big street market. We walked and looked at the kiosks on High Street, while admiring the architecture.
Then we went to see the magnificent cathedral. Since I have read The Pillars of the Earth, I am fascinated by the cathedrals. Founded in 642, it is one of the largest cathedrals in Europe, with the longest nave and greatest overall length of any Gothic cathedral in Europe.
As we were on our way to return to the train station, we saw the Winchester Castle. We didn't visit it tho.
We came back at the end of the afternoon and stopped to have a look at the Sunday market near our place. It was almost closed but what we saw didn't impress us.
Tonigh we went in a area I having visit yet this time: Sloane Square. Some may call it a posh neiberhood. It is certainly not a working class neighborhood. We had dinner at Cote Brasserie on Sloane Square. The service was exceptional and the food delicious. We completed our meal with an excellent St-Emilion red wine.
We finished the evening with a last drink on our terrace. What a perfect night in London!!
