Fun for the kids!
by Jenniflower
On Gunwharf Quay there are plenty of fun things for the kids to do!
Not only does this mean the kids enjoy themselves, but it also means mum and dad can relax a bit whilst their children are being entertained.
They have a bouncy castle with safety walls, and a few joyrides, like little aeroplanes for tiny tots and a little steam train for little tots too. They are well managed and are good fun!
They have musicians that are there for both mum and dad, but the little ones also seem to love them... like the little girl in pink in my photo, who was twirling around and having a ball :)
What to bring with?
by Jenniflower
Luggage with wheels is always a good idea, wherever you are travelling. Whether snowy/wet/sunny/warm or cold weather, layer your clothing.
Always remember to bring a cap/hat that covers your head and neck for when it gets hot, as well as sunglasses.
I have been twice in the month of June... and it's always been quite hot, although last time we had a heavy shower and it was chilly too... so always have a warm jacket/cardigan handy too! Sunscreen (Factor 35 is the minimum factor I use, no matter what the weather is), headache tablets and usual little things like some plasters for blisters, cotton wool, germolene etc. Your camera, with charger, and a EUROPEAN plug extension if travelling from overseas. Sports items if you are playing sport, which our church party were.
Car boot sales on Sundays
by SwedeSarah
During the weekends, there are many markets in Portsmouth. A smaller one is held at South Parade Pier, on the right side and sometimes in a room next to the pub. By Southsea castle is a quite huge car boot sales and I usually find some nice & cheap things there last time. They also had a small fun fair for the children. By Clarence Pier are a lot of markets. Both on a field on the other side of the road and also on a hugher field, it's called Southsea commons.
Go there as early as you can cause they pack up quite early in the afternoon.
Cantonese Roast food and drinks
by jil_coleslaw about Roast bar & restaurant
It is quite interesting that the bar serves Chinese food!! But for me, a Hong Kong people, I found that the food is quite authentic. As I know, the owner and chefs are from Hong Kong as well.
Here is a very "Hong Kong style" promotion - meal set with rice/noodle and drink at the lower price.
