Portsmouth
Historic Dockyard.
Today visited
the dockyard. The plan was to 'do' the
Mary Rose and then see what time and energy remained.
After the
obligatory coffee went straight to the Mary Rose Museum, starting with the
first exhibits then proceeding past the mid-deck of the actual ship we eventually reached the second set of exhibits on this level. Sounds easy doesn't it, actually took over two hours just to do a reasonably full viewing of just this part, in need of a break, so lunch called. The exceptional amount of 'stuff', with information and the superb presentation of the ship now clear of spraying equipment etc. was all absorbing and very tiring.
After lunch
took advantage of the harbour tour to see the Royal Navy and spend some time
outdoors.
Finished the
day with a look round the boatbuilding shed - and a welcome cup of tea, before
returning to Soton.
