Certainly good that Lynnstarted out with a full English breakfast at our hotel. We had a long day on the trains before we got to Portsmouth. Firt glitch--as we were sitting in Winchester Station, I said--We should get off here--just as the train started up. So we went to the next station, Fareham. We got on another train to Portsmouth. We were supposed to get off and change trains in Cosham. The train stopped, and as we were gathering our things to get off, the doors closed, and we could not get off. We went to the next station, Havant.
Eventually, we got to Portsmouth. This is Lynn outside of our hotel.

Really enjoyed the two ships. We go back tomorrow to take the harbour tour and see a few museums.
We had dinner at a pub about a half mile from our hotel and are now relaxing in the hotel.
