点评:I have been coming to Portsmouth since 1969, so it's fair to say that I know the place very well indeed. Having said that, the last time I was here was with my dear old mum on a horribly wet day in 2013 en route to catch a Brittany Ferry to Normandy.
Today, I arrived in the middle of a heatwave, with the mercury peaking at 33 degrees C.
The very expensive ticket to see everything is between £46 and £51 for adults, but if you just want to potter about, you can get in for free if you ask for a heritage quarter pass.
That suited me fine as a. I've seen all the ships before, b. the best pictures of HMS Warrior are from the outside and c. HMS Victory is currently undergoing a major overhaul and is covered in scaffolding.
I pottered about the boathouses and the shops, as well as taking some nice photos of the Warrior from the quay.
Too hot to do much else which may explain how quiet the place was, apart from several school parties.
If I had been a first-timer, I would certainly have gulped at the ticket prices, but you do get a lot of ships for your money. Like all these places nowadays, you can return as many times as you like for a whole year.
Really useful if you have travelled from thr USA or Japan.
翻译:我从1969年就开始来朴茨茅斯了,所以毫不夸张地说,我对这里非常熟悉。不过,我上次来这里还是2013年,那天阴雨连绵,我和我亲爱的老妈一起,准备搭乘布列塔尼渡轮前往诺曼底。
今天,我抵达时正值热浪来袭,气温高达33摄氏度。
参观所有景点的门票价格不菲,成人票价在46英镑到51英镑之间。但如果你只是想随便逛逛,可以申请一张遗产区通行证免费入场。
这正合我意,因为:a. 我以前都看过所有的船;b. 拍摄“勇士号”的最佳照片是从外部拍摄的;c. “胜利号”目前正在进行大修,被脚手架遮盖着。
我在船坞和商店里闲逛,还在码头上拍了一些“勇士号”的美照。
天气太热,除了几个学生团体之外,这里几乎没什么其他活动,这或许可以解释为什么这里如此安静。
如果我是第一次来,肯定会被票价吓一跳,不过考虑到票价,确实能坐很多船,也算物有所值。和现在很多这类地方一样,一年内可以无限次乘坐。
如果你是从美国或日本来的,那就非常方便了。
