Act III: Here be Hitler's Moustache!
Arr, me hearties! Today we been goin' down the Portsmouth Docks te see a man abou' a ship. Arr, I say!

*coughs* Do not accept pirated copies of Solo Tremaine. They are silly.

At the risk of being hunted down by Azure, I'll continue a debriefing of our escapades, heh. We can settle it in our Literati match, Azure ^_~

Anyway, Mimmi and I successfully managed to get down to the Portsmouth Historic Dockyards today, where we spent much time marvelling over the pretty ships and running for cover from not-so-pretty birds.

Although the weather forecast intimated that it wasn't going to rain, it was drizzling quite threateningly at the beginning of the day. Luckily, it passed and cleared up quite nicely by the end of the day.

The Historic Dockyard is basically a collection of exhibits/museums/ships all based in one area which you can walk into, look around and (almost everywhere) take pictures of. Some displays are more interactive than others, and others... just aren't, heh. Actually, there isn't much to actually interact with there- the only real one we saw wasn't working, and he other was only a touch-screen monitor. Still, I'm not the one who designed the displays. That's their problem :p

We took many pictures, heh ^_^ The ships there were absolutely beautiful. We'd been booked on a tour of the H.M.S. Victory, which was Lord Admiral Nelson's ship during the Batle of Trafalgar in wheneveritwas year. It's not entirely the original ship: most of it's been restored, but it was fantastic to look at and walk around in anyway. If anyone liked Master and Commander, this would certainly have interested you. We got to see every bit of the ship and it's given me lots of ideas for the Coriolis in Nazreal ^_^ I can't wait to start writing it, heh.

After that we went into the Mary Rose Ship Hall, which was an air-conditioned sealed walkway around the salvaged wreckage of Henry VIII's favourite ship that sank in the channel whilst going off to face off against the French. Silly buggers didn't close he lower cannon holes while they turned >.>

Anyway, it was rather stuffy in there and the windows were rather badly misted up, so you couldn't see much. They said we could come again without having to worry about ticking it off on our all-inclusive tickets, though ^_^

After a brief explosion of foodage, we went over to the H.M.S Warrior, which was the world's first iron-clad battleship that ironically for that very reason never fired a shot against anyone. That was very cool, and gave me many more ideas about Nazreal ^_____^

We still had a fair while until we needed to get back home to go out to the restaurant (which we've not done quite yet- leaving very soon, heh), so we traipsed around the Mary Rose museum and Gunwharf Quays, where many more people smoked than usual o_o;

Ah well.

The trainride back was... interesting, heh. I'd quite forgotten about the schools in Portsmouth letting all their students off at the same time that we'd arrived, so it was noisy and rather crowded. And late >.> But then, any UK train journey not like that is a rare occurrence indeed.

Mmm, I don't want Mimmi to leave tomorrow. It's been so great having her round and I honestly can't remember whan I've felt so comfortable being myself around anyone. That's something I'll really miss. But I won't go on too much about it now, I'll only start blubbering.

For now, we have to eat, heh. Good food doth come shortly ^_^

But anyway, we're still both set on coming to Anime Expo. And that will be a fantastic adventure indeed ^____^

See you soon!
