Hello Portsmouth

We are now safely home again and are finishing off our blog by matching the iconic sights we have seen around the world with what we can offer visitors in Portsmouth.

First of all we had to take Radish back to the links (Bonds of Frienship) in Portsmouth.  He made a friend himself in Australia and Sheila the Sheep has accompanied him home

These links are identical to the links in Loftus Street Sydney.


As regards the iconic parallels on Pompey- look below

A large white structure at the entrance to a world famous harbour  that went way over budget and took years to complete:  The Spinnaker Tower

Hollywood may have Universal Studios and fantastic rides but we have South Parade Pier where Tommy, Pinball Wizard was filmed and Pirate Isalnd mini golf

Please note clear blue sky.


San Francisco had Alcatraz and we have the forts in the Solent

Melbourne and Sydney may have had superb stadiums but we have the Mountbatten Centre sports centre and covered 50 metre pool

Boston may be the home of Harvard University with all the famous graduates but we have Portsmouth University with Sue as a graduate

And last but not least Boston also had the USS Constitution but Portsmouth is home to HMS Victory

It is good to be home and as you can see from this blog Portsmouth has lots to offer to visitors so if any of the people we met on our travels would like to visit we would be very pleased to put you up.  (Special rates for family and friends)
