Portsmouth and Driving Lessons!

We went to Portsmouth, the birthplace of Charles Dickens, to see some of Britain's naval treasures today. Saw the worlds oldest warship, the HMS Victory (1765), as well as the HMS Warrior (1860). Interestingly they pronounce "H" here as "haytch" which took a little getting used to. After our history lesson at the docks we finally had our first fish & chips! They batter one whole piece, with the skin, which I actually loved. Driving lessons for Angie took up the rest of our afternoon. I was laughing so hard she threatened to kick me out of the car! Props to her because I sure as hell couldn't do it. In the end she only hit 2 curbs and got honked at once... "good skills mate" as they say here!
