I woke up first and went out and ran five miles along the esplanade beside the ocean. At first I was like \u201cWow\u201d, a lot of people run here in Portsmouth but once I was amongst them I realized I was in the middle of a 5K. I continued beyond the finish and ran to the end of a small peninsula where a river entered the sea and then looped back. It was an easy five miles because it was flat. Ambiana and Colleen were out for a run when I got back and I ate breakfast and watched a review of the Year in Royalty on the BBC which was heavy on the coronation of King Charles III. <\/p>\n\n\n

After Colleen and Ambiana got back and Jakobi woke up and they all ate breakfast we all went out to the pier where Jakobi played arcade games while Ambiana and I walked out to the end of the pier and along the beach.<\/p>\n\n\n

We then walked a mile or so to the main street in Portsmouth <\/p>\n\n\n

We were on our way to our 2nd<\/sup> pantomime; \u201cHook: The Further Adventures of Peter Pan\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n

With we watched from the highest bench in the balcony of the King’s Theater which was built in 1910. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The show was better than the Cinderella Pantomime in Chipping Norton. <\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

There was lots more dancing and songs including a parody of \u201cSweet Child O’ Mine\u201d. Mrs Smee was a riot, the jokes funny, the dancing and singing very flashy, flying actors and a super silly \u201c12 Days of Christmas\u201d that had the audience tossing rolls of toilet paper onto the stage. <\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

And it all ended with a \u201cYMCA\u201d sing-a-long; very entertaining and the crowd was way into it. We had a lot of fun! <\/p>\n\n\n

Afterwards we took Ambiana out for her birthday dinner at an awesome Indian restaurant where we actually got a handwritten check! We then walked back to our accommodation and packed for our 6:30am departure tomorrow.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
