A second trip to former Colonial Master Part 1

Friends May has always been a busy month for me and so the last May was not an exception. I got a chance rather mischance to travel to UK for a business meeting as they say, so say we all. This time my trip was split across South East England and Northern Ireland.

I really love British Airways flight as they are very very comfortable and their terminal is very close to Terminal 2, from Heathrow airport terminal 2, one can easily get a Bus to Winchester (ancient capital of England, city of King Alfred and around 100 kms from London) in mere 14 British Pound. The campus of IBM in Hursley is a master piece surrounded by greenery and grass lands, it looks like an university and as told by one IBM friend there, only thinkers live there :). Winchester also holds the famous round table of legendary King Arthur and his Knights, i was really amazed to be a part of history and i took a picture of that too. Winchester also basks in glory for having one of the oldest Cathedral in Europe and this very Cathedral contains the Grave of famous Briton Jane Austen. I stayed in a beautiful hotel there, they call it Norton Park's hotel. I really enjoyed my stay in Winchester even more than London.

Adieu till i write again.
