The weather on Sunday was gorgeous. We had breakfast in the garden then went back into Portsmouth. We stopped in to the quays and walked around the docks. The HMS Victory is pictured here.
The Victory is the world's oldest commissioned warship and is probably best known for its role in the Battle of Trafalgar.
Matt tells me that Nelson died on board the Victory, and I'm guessing he was in a room at the back.
This little car was attracting considerable attention. As the tide came in, we could see it rocking back and forth. We're not sure what happened, but it was gone when we came back.
Our next stop was in Porchester, a 3rd Century fort with a Norman Keep.

The Roman walls.
Looking out to the sea from the inside the walls.
There were a number of boats and pleasure crafts out that afternoon.
Training boats for little sailors.
