- The beautiful and charming area of Southsea and Portsmouth in England is a must see if you ever visit the United Kingdom. This area is perfect for relaxing and enjoying the wonderful English coast. The people are friendly and helpful, there are a ton of great places to eat and many interesting sites to see. We stayed at a wonderful boutique hotel, took a ride on a Hover Craft to the Isle of Wight, visited a charming Abbey, went high above the sky to take in the views from Spinnaker Tower, rented a car to drove the British highways to have afternoon tea with Alpacas! Needless to say, this was an adventure packed with great sites!!

Isle of Wight is beautiful
Pompey - Portsmouth, is where I grew up, (although to be fair, I never did grow up!) (Quays is pronounced, "Keys")
I was born and grew up just outside Portsmouth (Leigh Park) in one of the estates built to house people after Portsmouth was heavily bombed during WW2.
My grandparents all lived in Portsmouth. My mother’s father was in the Royal Navy during WW2 and my father’s father used to work in the Royal Dockyard, home of the British Navy (now Portsmouth Naval Base).
When I went to stay with my mother’s parents in Copnor as a young child my grandfather used to take me to Southsea in the summer. Some of my happiest childhood memories are of days at the beach, next to South Parade Pier.
Many years later, when living near London, I met a girl from Southsea and spent a lot of time with her down there.
Later still when living in central London I used to organise fishing trips for some of my work colleagues. The boat I hired (with a skipper thank God!) used to sail out of Portsmouth Harbour, into The Solent and sometimes beyond. More great memories!
The whole area is steeped in history and had strong links to The Admiralty in London.
There is a lot to do and see in and around Portsmouth and Southsea, but do your research first.
What a lovely recount of wonderful memories! Thank you for sharing. We could tell right away that there was so much more to see and do in this area than we had anticipated. We hope to visit again sometime. Perhaps in the summer!
You don't drink tea without milk. I am not surprised you looked shocked. No English person would drink tea like that.
I always drink black tea as did my grandmother.
Same as people say a full english has beans.
That only started in the 80s.
Bubble and squeak was way more common on a full english prior to that
@@Lee-70ish I agree with you regarding beans with English breakfast is wrong and only introduced in recent years. Personally I do not like it. Regarding tea though, most British people do not drink tea without milk and personally I find it unpalatable.
@@valeriedavidson2785 Plenty of English people drink tea without milk. I can't stand milk in tea.
@@jazzzzdude Not plenty of people. Very much in the minority. I have never met in my life anyone who drinks tea without milk and I am a pensioner.
Depends on the tea.
Normal builders tea needs milk but plenty of others don’t shouldn’t have it.
Aww….you should’ve tried to get to Osborne House or Carrisbrook Castle on the Isle of Wight but maybe they weren’t open at the time of year you went.
You missed Osbourne House, Queen Victoria and Prince Albert's holiday home and where she died. Well worth a visit.
So much to see on the Isle of Wight, shame they missed it all.
Nobody, anywhere in England (except for Americans,) has ever said "a 'spot' of tea" - it isn't an English phrase, just something that Americans have got into their heads, that's a traditional thing to say. "A spot of lunch" is used to express that you're having a smaller portion than usual, so "a spot of tea" would imply that you're only having half a cup or less (!?!) It probably comes from confusion when people say "a pot of tea", and as usual American tourists have got it wrong!!
It's the same as Americans (especially irritating American television interviewers when talking to someone from the UK) ask them to "Spill the tea" IE to gossip about something or someone (this is normally done when they present them with a pretty flawed looking afternoon or high tea) and don't realise when their guest looks at them blank faced, as it us but a saying we have or use on this side of the Atlantic!
As someone from Portsmouth, I really enjoyed this - I just see it as home but its great to see another perspective!!
The Spinaker tower does high tea on the next floor up which gives you access to the sky garden, an open roof garden . See you next time
I was there in 1982 when I was in the Marine Corps. We docked right there where you see the Navy ships. I was in helicopter assault ship similar to the ones in the video. We were able to get out and walk the town a couple of days before we left.
Wow!! That’s amazing! The historic dockyards were really interesting to walk through! Thank you for your service ❤️
Did you visit HMS Victory?
Warrior is my favourite.
And Jackie Fisher was her gunnery officer, where he learnt and perfected his trade and ideas for future fighting ships, culminating in Dreadnought.
You can see his very cabin.
A weapon as revolutionary, if not more so, than the atomic bomb.
And although they are non-functioning replicas, the scale model engine is incredible.
The Steam Engine and Screw Propelled Warship!
Hey Marine, what was the food like in '82 then?
That Hoover Boat was INCREDIBLE, I’ve watched it back many many times and am still open jawed by it, I’m an engineer and I can not get enough of it!!
Only commercial route left in the world I believe and where it was invented.
I've always loved riding in it.
It's just a shame they aren't turbine powered anymore, which sounded incredible.
Invented by Christopher Cockerell.
@@MostlyPennyCatI remember getting on the ferry to go to Calais and saw a hovercraft along side us. Was amazing
@@MargotDobbie
They are so cool.
It's so sad that they're all gone.
This has been so much fun to watch. I looked forward to Mondays just to see what was next. What an experience you guys have had.
We’re so happy you’ve enjoyed traveling with us!! We will have a few more videos coming up :)
Aaaaaaaah I feel it too, I don't want to leave either. The hover craft looks like fun, fun! Towers, love all the views from all kinds of towers. I actually got nervous when Terry started driving and i started laughing that nervous laugh. Alpacas are so cute, what an experience with the tea and feeding them.
Love this and your previous video. Portsmouth and London both a treat. Portsmouth has a special place in the hearts of a nation which still sees itself as a naval one, despite it navies being smaller now (loads of fishing etc though). The Isle of Wight is even has a garlic farm, of all things!
Brighton also fun (that's further east across the south coast) and trendier. I'm a Londoner and currently walk about 10 miles a day in London with my camera just for my photography hobby, and I keep seeing new stuff. I went to New York in the USA many years ago and loved that too. I've been to Washington but for work, so never had time to see much.
I love a cup of tea. It just seems to slow me down and restock my quiet energy levels.
Quays is pronounced . Keys. I know tell me about it. The joys of the English language.
Fun hovar searide ! What a challenging driving experience ! 🤪 Cool having tea with the alpacas.
I can't believe you didn't visit the Historic Dockyard to visit HMS Victory and HMS Warrior! 👀🤔
There are so many places to see in the area. I see from the comments you went to the dockyard, it can take a couple of days to see it all. At the top of Portsmouth harbour is Portchester Castle which is Roman in origin. Ok, I'm biassed as I live 10 miles north of Portsmouth, or Pompey as it's known locally.
Hi! Yes, we made it to the Historic Dockyards and you are right, there was soooo much to see, we barley scratched the surface! But it was lovely. I wish we had more time to see everything. You are lucky to live so close! 😃
OI OI POMPEY PEOPLE
My beloved city.
That was just sooo crazy.. Driving on the left, navigating the signs and traffic. Wow. Great vlog guys.
It was scary! Terry did a great job driving but I was a nervous wreck! 😂
Everyone in Europe drives in multiple countries, on both sides of the road. It’s easy 😂
The South-West is where it's at. Somerset, Dorset, Devon & Cornwall. England's paradise spots.
And the Cotswolds in Gloucestershire.
@@valeriedavidson2785 I lived in Bourton-on-the-Water for some years. It is beautiful.
@@Lazarus404 I live in Cheltenham. I know it well. I remember as a small child boarding a steam train to go to Bourton with my Granny.
next time you come to the uk try wales and the welsh lamb
The steering wheel and the driving us actually on the Correct side! Proven to be far safer.
Needs milk 😂 but glad you had fun!!
First west to the IOW as a child on holiday. Subsequently I was there in the 1970’s for the IOW music festival. Line up included The Who and Hendrix. My children still cross on the car ferry to go there. Also up to the 80’s you could take a hovercraft across the channel to France.
That's very random. I grew up about 5 minutes from that Alapacca farm and never knew it existed!?
I love it😃👍🤗
Wish you had gone to Scotland, you'd love it!
you two seem a really nice couple
I am so glad you avoided the less desirable areas. We do try to look after our colonial visitors! Glad you enjoyed it.
Driving in the opposite side of the road is easy, we're European, we switch all the time.
The _wheel_ being on the other side however is the stuff of nightmares.
You went to Portsmouth and didn't see HMS Victory?
Or The Mary Rose?
Tbh you should have gone somewhere like York, u would have been blown away
I had my experience on an overdraft when I was 13 no I'm 52 would love to do it again we went from Dover to France in 33 and a half minutes how fast best time ever ❤
Overdrafts are best avoided unless they are pre-arranged. Banks can add some expensive charges.
@@MeTube3.😂
England has so many accents and we are very very sensitive to them, it earmarks you, it tells us where you are from in yhe country. 30 miles difference, makes a difference. Unless its RP which is the 'posh' accent...there is no such thing as a generic accent So it usually is not a great idea to try an accent. Basically I have only ever heard actors, musicians, vocalists get it right.
You don’t drink tea like that! Where is the milk? Much better with milk guys and a tickling of sugar😊😊😊
Quays is pronunced Keys
How can you drink tea without milk, like Americans drink coffee without milk aswell, yuk
I presume you’ve never been abroad? Most of the world, drink tea and coffee without milk.
Respect for trying to do an English accent Terry. It wasn't the worst attempt I've ever heard. :)
Shame you didn't ask for some local advice, we could have found you some _really_ amazing places to eat.
Quay is pronounced key
Very good stuff but please leave the English comedy accent at home in the US next time
Birthplace of Charles Dickens and Petter Sellers
Quays pronounced “keys” (a loading platform for ships) I know it’s weird spelling
Quays rhymes with Bees.
Also Keys
And knees. And tease. And peas. And sneeze. And freeze. And trees. And squeeze. And ease. And fees. And lease. And fleas. And Cheese. And seas. And seize. And wheeze. But not hippopotamus.@@MostlyPennyCat
Oh dear ! The wrong side ! Please !!
Quay is pronounced key 😂
quaysy as it sounds heheh
you missed the mary Rose and hms victory in portsmouth ?
Yup she was right to shake her head when you spoke like Dick Van Dyke via South Africa 😅😅 Quay is pronounced key
Kristol seems very nice, Terry on the other hand is a prat.
😂 I so agree!
Gunwharf Quays. Hello Terry! No offence meant but in the UK, Quays is pronounced as Keys. Also, Portsmouth is pronounce as Pos-moth!
Pos-moth? Wtf. Don’t talk wet! It’s Portsmuth, or Pompy. Pffft.
Which station did you leave London from? If it was Victoria (by train) you went through my city about 30 minutes before you got to pompey
You're not the first American whom I've heard pronounce quay as kway. We pronounce it as in key. Do you have a different word for it in the US or do you spell it key?
Which city springs to mind, if you want to experience iconic culture, beauty and history of Britain? Maybe York, Edinburgh, Bath, Oxford or even Brighton, if you want the sea? Nope..... PORTSMOUTH. No offence Portsmouth, I lived in Reading and enjoyed, but mightn’t recommend, so much, for this type of video)
Quays is pronounced 'keys'.
Portsmouth 'beautiful' - LAUGH OUT LOUD!??!!!!! Of all the pretty cities and towns to see, its a shame you chose Pompey
And what would you suggest?
I think they were really meaning Southsea. Nothing wrong with either place. Do not give foreigners the wrong impression.
@@valeriedavidson2785 Well, I would personally never recommend.
Portsmouth is a great city with amazing history. I'd recommend a day in the Historical Dockyard but go early 'cos there's loads to see. The locals are friendly as long as you don't upset them, remember that people have been going to war from this city for centuries.
Portsmouth is great. But best when the weather is better. Took my Australian grandkids ( 10 and 11 ) to Portsmouth, London, Paris, Venice and Rome in 2019. When asked which city he liked best my grandson said Portsmouth. But I knew where to go unlike these people. The Dockyard, Spinnaker tower, Portchester Castle, Portsdown Hill, Osborne House, relatives and more.
Quay pronounced Key
Quay is pronounced ‘key”
Quay ? Pronounced 'KEY' or 'KEE' to be phonetic!
you need to work on that accent sir 😅
Please stop raising your little finger when you eat or drink - this is a myth that Brits do this - its actually really a low class thing to do - sorry!
