Trip to Portsmouth
Saturday, 17 Sep 05. As agreed with Waqas the night before to go Portsmouth town today, I wake up early in the morning, had my usual breakfast, and prepared for journey. We did not set off until about 1030H as Waqas need to make a phone call to his friend who is happen to be in UK on course too. If u know me well, you will know that Eric’s rules and theory when he is overseas is to walk to his destination rather then take transport; As I believe that through walking, then I will be able to see more things and most important save money. I always feel a sense of achievement when I am able to do budget tour. Another reason maybe because I spend too freely in Singapore, and when I am overseas, I want to takan myself. Sadist me. Wahahaha… Hmm… maybe come and think again… the more important reason could be my next C when I return to Singapore… kekeke…
Anyway, I made poor Waqas to suffer with me. The journey from Wardroom to the Gosport Town took us 40mins. Take a look at our journey.
Aint I brilliant wahaha… with a map and my generic build in compass, I can go anywhere. Some pictures of Gosport Town Center (High Street).
Hmm… what is happening??? Horse and carriage.
Wedding!!! Wah so traditional one. Wonder how much it cost to get them to Singapore. Get a license from Singapore Government to put this thing on our road and I think I can make big money if I were to rent them out to wedding couples. Kelvin, Damien business idea. Hahaha…
My journey to Portsmouth continues. Arrived at Gosport ferry, just beside Gosport Town.
Nice Sea view.
Spinnaker Tower in Portsmouth
Wow nice nice!!! HMS Warrior (1860)
After arriving in Portsmouth, we headed towards the Cascades Shopping Centre. My initial thoughts looking at the map and its huge floor area was that it must be a huge shopping Centre, maybe something like Taka. But when I got there, I know their meaning of centre…
Had lunch. Spend some time searching for a Halah Restaurant but can’t find. Poor Waqas got to settle for Sandwiches… Me? BK… UK$5.19… My most expensive BK meal S$15.57 to date. Kekeke
After spending about 2 hours there, we headed to another Shopping area in Portsmouth.
On my way to Gunwharf Quays Shopping Area, passed by these places.
HMS NELSON (One of the Royal Naval Base)
Portsmouth Bus Station
Hmm… someone may like this shop.
My shop!!!
Presenting an amateur production by arrangement with JOSEF WEINBERGER LTD on behalf of Music Theatre International of New York. A New version of Gilbert and Sullivan’s THE PIRATES of PENZANCE. 10 – 15 Oct 05 Kings Theatre Southsea.
Since I took picture of them and post without asking them, think I will give them a free advertisement in MY blog. Wonder if anyone is interested to go with me?
Time to head back to Gosport.
Portsmouth Harbour
Gosport Ferry
Never get enough of capturing HMS Sultan. Oh by the way we walk back from Gosport. Although Waqas look pretty unwilling, but I pulled him along. I am UK$6 richer!!! Where to find a job in Singapore that pay you S$18 to walk for 40mins right?
Things I bought today.
Did not really accomplish my mission. Could not find the pillow that I want. All the pillows are too soft!!! And that include the ones in my room. I bought the Tie in one of the shop in Gunwharf Quays. UK$12. No choice, don't want to wear the Navy Tie with my suit for my entire stay here. Map of Portsmouth, UK$1, cheap and good. Chinese DVD!!! House of Flying Daggers by Zhang Yimou, UK$9.99, very ex, but I want to watch so no choice… Long telephone cables, just incase I want to get DIAL UP in my room. UK$1 each, cheap, so who cares, get them first. But I seriously wonder if I can survive with dial up… Hmm... there goes my bad spending habbit... Save some spend more... Who can understand me?
OK time to sleep. Post in the comments box so i know that u are here.
Cheers

are you sure the bicycle pump works? Kenneth left one for me and i spent one hour trying to pump it up. In the end i gave up and borrowed a footpump from my neighbour!
YY, the pump work. But in order to get it work, you got to work very hard first. Like pumping at 60rpm. If i know who have a leg pump, i will definately go your route.
