London and Southampton were my targets in UK. London was busy and crowded like a nest of ants. An oasis there was the Kew Gardens where we spent one day with my brother, who joined me for my last day. Spring was still early, but you could find beautiful flowers inside the glasshouses.
The hotel that I had chosen was with mini tiny rooms, but friendly atmosphere. I wanted to stay near St Pancras international station to get easily to Eurostar in the morning. Friendly Georgiu in the reception helped me with sim cards and adviced us a nice Italian restaurant that was lively with locals. Just before leaving for Europe I happened to check my email, and learned I need a negative Covid test result to get to Netherlands. After a small shock we could find a laboratory near the station and I got negative result from an antigen test.

In Southampton we celebrated my niece’s wedding with a good group of the family. It was an emotional day first in a beautifully set registry office and after that a party in Juniper Pub. It was exiting to learn to know the English family and their ways to celebrate.

After the wedding day we walked around in the New Forest Natural park, seeing the old trees, free horses and dears and enjoyed the tea with scones in old English tearoom.
