Portsmouth
Well after quite a few days on the go it was time to kick back and enjoy the seaside tome of Portsmouth, well Cowplain actually but no-one knows where that is.
Met up with some family here and enjoyed checking out the local pubs and the surrounding attractions.... bushes, toilet bowls etc.
We did manage to climb an attraction called the Spinnaker Tower which had a really spectacular view from the top, and on the first level there was a glass floor where you could stand and look down 100m which was really cool! Well for some. Others like Davey with his hatred of anything high (must be a short man complex thingy) wasn't as excited. That was pretty much all we did the first day except to go to another couple of pubs, meet more rellies and have a whale of a time.
Day 2 started early. We got up and decided to join one of our cousins on a trip to Salisbury (people in this country actually go out of there way to go there, unlike Adelaide), Stonehenge and Bath.
Salisbury was a quiet town which rates highly due to their cheap beers and nice bakeries. We saw the Magna Carta in the main cathedral then it was off to Stonehenge. Basically a lot of rocks in the middle of a field, how did the get there? who knows and most impotantly who cares!! Haha, no it was quite good and we got some excellent photos.
Bath was the pick for me (Davey). Really cool place with nice houses and of course the Roman Baths. Didn't get a lot of time there as it was closing (the Baths, not the city) so then it was back to sunny Portsmouth.
Everyday we have been here it has been 22-25 degrees and sunny as, great drinking weather! Rest of the time here (another 2 days) involved shopping and just relaxing with family. London next then off for Germany!!!!!!! Go the Aussies!!
C ya!
