Goodbye Harwich, Hello Portsmouth

Wednesday 3rd August 2011

We had an early start this morning to get all our kit packed up ready for the long coach journey up to Portsmouth, New Hampshire.  The coach left the hotel at 8.30am and hit Interstate 6 (I6), heading off Cape Cod, onto the I3 round Boston and then finally getting on the I95 which would bring us to Portsmouth.

Before going to the hotel, however, there was a chance to visit Water Country, water park, which many of our party took the chance to do, even if it was only to enjoy the sunshine.  Those who didn't wish to go to the water park had the opertunity to have a look round Portsmouth town before making their way to the Anchorage Inn and Suites, which is where we're staying for the next couple of days.

Everyone met at the hotel at around 5.45pm checked in and received our room keys.  Thirty minutes later we found outselves back in the carpark of the hotel as the fire alarm had been set off and we had to wait for the fire Service to turn up and declare a false alarm.

Our evening meal was a free choice of whatever could be found.  There was a local restaurant almost oposite the hotel, or the coach was leaving to go to an area of portsmouth which offered a few different restaurants including pizza and chinese.
