This was the second outing of the year, this one to Portsmouth to go up the Spinnaker tower and to look around the local area. We arrived at Portsmouth around 11.30 and gasping for a cup of coffee made our way to the cafe's, but by the time we found one it was lunch time, so we had a bite to eat as well, and then it was up the tower for 20 minutes to look at the fantastic view it offers. The tower stands 170m and was built with a lottery grant.
After the tower we made our way to the boats for a tour of the naval docks, whilst others enjoyed the local shops or sat on the seafront watching the world go by.
As it was free to go into the dock yard to see HMS Victory and the maritime museum, Karen and I trotted off for a look, which took us right up to 3.20pm when we headed back to the coach park, where we found the others all licking their ice creams, lovely.
A good day indeed, many thanks to the organisers.
