After a huge English breakfast at our B&B in Southsea
(Portsmouth), we headed off to the Portsmouth Historic Waterfront. Our first
port of call was Nelson’s ‘Victory’. Wow. Unbelievable. We quickly checked out
most of the other exhibits around the dock before heading off to Salisbury &
Salisbury Cathedral. The kids rated this as there No. 1 church ever.
Next stop, Stonehenge. It’s hard to get your mind around
this place. The why and how is just too much to comprehend.
We then had some difficulty finding accommodation. The plan
was to head toward Bath and stay somewhere nearby. Bradford on Avon was the original
plan, but after a few laps of the town (we were too late for the Tourist
office!) we continued on. But what an awesome town. I wish we had time to go
back and explore. We ended up in a village called Melksham. One place we tried
had no family rooms available, so called around several others to try to find
us something. Nothing available anywhere, so they added beds to one of their
double rooms. Solved. They also suggested we check out Lacock, a 13th
century village, entirely preserved.
Part of the Harry potter movies were filmed there. We had dinner in an old pub.
A really old pub. Then, finally, internet access and a my first chance to
update the blog.
