Our penultimate day in Winchester started in a local cafe called Josie’s for some breakfast. I had a full-American, Helen had chicken benedict with crushed avocado. A great find, delicious food, would definitely recommend.

Romsey and Southampton

On Tuesday, we had planned to go to Portsmouth to see the boats and submarines, but while eating breakfast we checked their opening times and found out the submarine was closed on Tuesday’s, so that would have to wait until tomorrow. Today, instead of Portsmouth, we decided to visit Romsey (a small nearby town), and Southampton, since neither of us had ever been to either.

Three Castles, an Abbey, and Baxter the Cat

Friday rolls around and we’re nearing the end of our holiday. One last adventure up near Inverness today before heading back down to Glasgow tomorrow. We had a little continental breakfast, and set off East out of Inverness.

Accommodation: Premier Inn, Inverness West

Tuesday

We woke up and went across the road from our Premier Inn in Stirling to a little cafe called Toast for a fancy breakfast. I had French toast with streaky bacon and syrup, Helen had smoked salmon and scrambled eggs. Very tasty, but fairly slow service, especially when it came to getting drinks.
