The Spinnaker Tower

Our stay back in the UK came to an end, and as we arrived in Portsmouth a few hours early for the overnight ferry we followed Edith & John's example and visited the Spinnaker Tower. As you can see dusk wasn't far away and our photos don't do the tower full justice. Nevertheless, a good visit was had!

Thankfully a lift takes you up the 170m!
The view is fantastic. This building is nicknamed 'the lipstick' for obvious reasons.

Maybe our ferry arriving. I think we've been in the pub left of centre of the photo.
We both dared to walk on the glass floor.

In the area around there are fascinating sculptures...
...and a giant torpedo.

We loved our 4 days at Portsmouth. The tower was outside our window and was lit up a different colour each night. We watched men on ropes painting or cleaning it while we had breakfast! We didnt get too that pub but saw it from various boat trips. Saving it for next time.
