Portsmouth




On Thursday we went to Portsmouth to see the ships. We took a tour around the harbour. I love Portsmouth Harbour because it is such a busy, working harbour. It might look like a fish pond compared to Sydney Harbour, but you see many naval, commercial and leisure boats. The tall ship is Nelson's "Victory". If you don't know about it, be careful how you ask an Englishman. Jon was horrified when I asked him who Admiral Lord Nelson was. Harrison wasn't that interested in the naval history we learnt on on our tour, but he did like climbing on the furniture.
