Winchester Cathedral

August 26, Winchester Cathedral day.
I just could not imagine being this close to the famous Winchester Cathedral and not paying a visit. So we booked a bus trip from Southampton to Winchester.

Almost left speechless....almost!!
It is so amazing and so impressive.




This is the view of the North Transept.





The High Altar





The Nave Looking East

We had a guided tour and our guide was wonderful. He knew all of the history and had so many different stories to tell.
After we left the cathedral we went to see King Arthur's round table. It was also wonderful to see this thing I had heard about since I was a teen ager



This has been an amazing adventure. Tomorrow we board the Ruby Princess and the adventure will continue.
