21 June 2008 – Saturday - 6 AM
Eastleigh, Hampshire, UK
A quick glance through Wikitravel, I start to explore Eastleigh. This is the town in which I would spend my next few weeks. A beautiful, small town in the south of England between Winchester and Southampton. Its largely a dormitory town.
Straight from Wiki
The town had a long history associated with Railways, and home of Spitfire. A WWII fighter plane designed and flown from here.
This was the first English town, I were visiting. Jogged down towards the city centre at 6 in the morning. The main drive was to find a BT booth.
Spotted this on the walls of ‘The Point’ - Art and Cinema centre.
Walked down the park, to finally find a BT booth. But, it required a 40P coin, and how were I to have one?!! Disappointed walked down the High street, to find the Saturday Market. Btw, the town has 2 main streets High Street and Market Street.
Finally find the Tesco, where I shop for the need of 40 Pence, and make a call home. Only then did I feel better. Walk back exploring the city.
Loved this street for the Stone Spheres and the street light graphics.
Some Lavender flowers.
