The rest of our time in Southampton was spent with little admin tasks - topping up the UK Sim that Sasha would use throughout the USA, getting various pills and potential remedies for the sea journey ahead (but for the life of us, we could not find any ginger pills for anything less than £20 - no thank you!), and solving a few accommodation issues. We'd booked an Airbnb for New York, but in the month previous despite sending a few messages we hadn't heard back from the person who's little apartment we'd be renting and we'd noticed that so far for the month of June they had cancelled all of the booking at the last minute. We didn't want to be in the situation where after being internetless in the Atlantic for 7 days we arrive in New York and found our accommodation had cancelled on us, so after getting some advice from Airbnb that we could get a full refund - only then for the agent on the phone to thoroughly mess up our booking and charge us the full amount again - we cancelled our New York Airbnb accommodation, and booked a Hotel/Hostel instead. Around this same time we started getting conflicting messages from Jeremy and Rachel about staying with them in Toronto, just to add on top of the New York dramas but that got sorted fairly quickly - so all was good, and we could hop on the boat without any worry or clouds on the horizon on the accommodation front.
Other than that, we had a few picnics in a nearby park with cheap marked-down food and cider from the chuckouts section of the local Tesco's (working out that we had purchased all of our items for less than half of the normal cost!), and we also visited a Wetherspoons for the last time - the cheap and cheerful pub chain of the UK.
I don't have any other photos of Southampton and our time there to share with you, because if I took any they weren't anything special and Southampton is a bit nondescript. Don't get me wrong, its a nice city but not distinctively scenic in any way - the mall looks like a mall, the streets look like any other English town and city, and you can't get a good photo of the sprawling waterfront with its Cruise Ships unless you go over to Hythe (which we didn't). The park was very nice to be in and hang out in, but not too photogenic. For a last place to visit in the UK though, it was quite pleasant - there are certainly worse places in the UK to be!
