Portsmouth and Guests

We recently have house guests last week, Our relative Romeo and Alice Orio came here on their way to a European vacation. They stayed here for a 3 days and another 3 days in Portsmouth with Ate Alice's friends. As usual I took them to Central London for a tour in the city. We weren't able to go to lots of places because of the London Marathon and they get tired quickly. They left for Madrid Sunday morning.

Last Saturday we also went to Portsmouth. We visited our school friend from Baler, Ymay Calugtong, who's going home this Tuesday. It's about 70 miles from where we are and an hour and a half drive. It's a great place and they have better shops than here cause they were factory outlets so it's like sale everyday. Shopping was more of our plan so other place of interest will be for the next visit. However Enzo wanted to go to Horatio Nelson's ship, HMS Victory, because Girlie told him the night before that we are going to see it but it was closed so we just took a picture on the dock. We have to go there or else he won't stop moaning about that.

The day was spent going around the shops and not visiting other interesting places like The Charles Dickens Museum. But just before we went home the long queue on the famous Portsmouth landmark the "Spinnaker Tower" was gone so we were able to go up the tower. It has a great view of the harbour and the city. Here are some of the photos I have taken.

The rest of the pics are in fotopic. Next we're off to Minnesota for a wedding.
