Marriott Portsmouth

Hello everybody <br><br>We are still alive and well. We are in Cambodia at the moment. Apoligies for not sending any travel blogs for a while. As we're are trying to do 2 blogs at the same time it has become too much to keep both of them going simultaneously, so this one has been neglected for a while. If any of you are interested in our travels I can add your email ...

This will be my third trip to Australia, and this time I've decided to take my time and soak up the atmosphere and scenary. I'm going to sit on beaches, wile away afternoons in beachside bars, stroll through forests and explore quiet hillside and seaside towns. And most of it's going to be in a ...

... They have these cycle paths.. I did only about 5% of them so there is heaps more to discover when I go back. I also managed to do some jogging ... whew my poor old knees didn't like it all... but the scenery was so lovely. The leaves were all turning, animals were wondering around it didn't feel you were in a country of 60 million people at all.<br><br>One day I had a ride for about 3-4 hours, ended up in a small place called Fritham... I had some ...

Visited this town while I was visiting my Uncle in Portsmouth. Its a lovely little place, well not little but seems about the size of Newcastle. Not that I have seen its outskirts etc.<br><br>When I arrived I went to have a look at the old wall and the old castles etc set up by Henry the VI I think. But it started to pour down so I went ...

... and a morning paper whiled away the time from escaping customs at 7.15, easy, no hassles, Roy, Lona's uncle, and Hazel arrived on schedule at just before 8am and we made our way out of terminal 5 onto the M25 and down the A3 to Waterlooville which is just on the northern outskirts of Portsmouth.<br><br>So we are now in the land of green fields, tea cosies, narrow roads and small cars. We have so far caught up with Lona's cousin Alan, Gary in Florida ...

I have spent the last few days preparing for this trip with David. There are so many things to think about - malaria pills, bank accounts, travel insurance etc and I feel sure I have forgotten something. I have finally packed but my bag is far too ...

... and it has been one of my dreams to see it, especially after seeing the Wasa in Stockholm. Portsmouth After much discussion with Lucy, we decided that Saturday would be the day. After getting there, we dived in. First up was the Warrior. At the time, it was the largest iron hulled steam ship in the world. The reason it was built so big, is that the Frogs had recently built a big one, the Poms being Poms, the forerunner to the Sepps ...

... last wish, Nelson who had been fatally injured in a victorious battle against said kiss me hardy when he was dying. To this day many have varied opinions on this particular line and provides much humor for lots of people. The next was the visit to Portchester castle. It makes a good walk and the climb is steep and for the fit!
