BROWNIES BLOG: Portsmouth In and Around.

Enjoyed a day of leasure bet the Galaxy wondered what had it. We met for breakfast and a grand affair that was before we went our different ways. Paul and Joan to Laundrymat and the three girl for short walk thru the park and then to the taxi rank for a trip to Harbour shops. Joan and Paul met up with us later.

Pretty un adventful shopping trip to Shirley spotted a thief in ladies shop we were in. He strolled in with bag looked to see that no one was looking and took belt off model popped it in bag and hurried out of the shop within seconds.

By this stage it was coffee time and time to rest legs before Elizabeth and I took the ride up Spinnaker Tower - supposedly Britains best viewing gallery.
It shows 23 miles of stunning views over South coast - and gave us a better idea how big Portsmouth really is. It has viewing decks at 100m, 105m and 110m above sea.

First two decks are by lift and yes did climb stairs to last one and very worthwhile cause met some Aussie had chat and compared trips. One lived in Sydney until 6yrs ago and now lives close to Portsmouth, the second fellow from Nimbin. Always nice to hear Aussie.

Back down safely we met with the gang and went to Jamie Oliver Italian Restaurant in the complex. Huge building and very popular.

Home for rest before we he'd to J and P for usual Gin.

As last night meal so good decided to go back to hotel dining room. Another super meal I managed Roast Pork Belly with caramelized apple slices and roasted shallots and cider jus followed by Summer Pudding. The total cost of my meal was only 16.95 (pound). Very good value.

Then it was a large glass of ice (havnt stopped) and up to room to Blog so as you will all have something to read tomorrow morning. I really appreciate receiving emails comments etc saying how you are enjoying them, and thank you for taking the time. Nice to hear from home on the road.
