After our fish & chips dinner at a Portsmouth wharf pub last night Carol
and I hoofed it over to the Spinnaker. Tower in the hopes of going up the highest accessible structure in England. Alas, it had already closed for the day. So when "Out of this World Tours" (Laura's name for her excellent travel planning service) gave us a few free hours before today's concert, Carol and I were off like a whirlwind. First was a hovercraft ride to the Isle of Wight and a walk through the seaside town of Ryde. Then back to scale the tower and visit the three viewing platforms including one with a glass floor, which takes your breath away when you take that first step and walk on air. Though we strive to break through the glass ceiling, we were very happy the glass floor held firm!
Well, it's not the Grand Canyon, but you can say you've stepped into the void and it held, in any case!
