HMS Prince of Wales — Today is our last full day at Gunwharf Quays. We took a stroll along the Millennium Walkway to pass the time and were there to watch HMS Prince of Wales leave Portsmouth Harbour.

Southsea Beach – Vacation Day 1 – The flight out, a walk to the beach, and beer. Once back in Portsmouth we took a short nap. We then decided that a visit to the beach was in order, and somehow that led to a pint of beer. 5
