Still waiting

Portsmouth, England, United Kingdom
We heard that we are not going to get the Boomer until Friday, so another couple of days marking time.
The waterfront at Portsmouth is a hive of activity and all types of naval and civilian vessels are continuously on the go . The D-Day Museum is there, but will have to come back another day for that. Nelson sailed from here, the first fleet for Australia sailed from here, as did countless military ventures.
The Roman Palace at Fishbourne was the best in Britain when it was built 1900 years ago - it came to a fiery end, but is slowly being uncovered. Very interesting work going on in the lab with a 3500 year old tibia, from another site, being dusted off!
Chichester with its cathedral and olde town well worth the visit.
