Tuesday- Thursday 4th June

We left Ken & Beryl's after a nice time and went to Arundel Castle. It is owned by an important family and they live in one wing of it and then open the rest but do let their visitors stay over. It had beautiful rooms, furniture and architecture. We really enjoyed it. We went for a walk through the town and had some lunch. Then headed off towards Portsmouth.

Arrived there to try and find somewhere to stay and ended up joining another library so we could use the internet. Found somewhere and when we arrived found we were up on the 3rd floor at the very top of a place with 4 levels. Breakfast was in the basement.

We went off to the shops the following morning to get mobile internet and ended up also with an english pre paid phone. We went to the docks to find the entry guarded by two policemen with machine guns. A bit offputting. We saw the Victory, the Mary Rose and the Warrior ships, had a cruise on the harbour to see all the naval ships in dock and surrounds, and also went to a few different museums. We arrived 10.20 and left at 4.30 and still didn't see everything. But a most enjoyable day.
