Today was a day trip to Portsmouth, located in south England. The main attractions in Portsmouth include the historic naval dockyard, and the Spinnaker Tower, which is a huge landmark offering a fantastic view. The naval dockyard was worth a visit if you are interested in anything navy or history. There were naval displays from past and present. The site offered access to two ships, as well as three musems.
