In an effort to “keep fit” on this hedonistic journey, I went with Jacky to the swimming pool in Havant and did my usual interrupted lengths of the pool for about an hour. Then the reward, a hot sauna!
In the afternoon, we had a wander through the market in the town and were fascinated with the merchants yelling out in their sing song voices to enticie you to purchase their fruits, vegetables, and meats. Then we continued on our way and went for a 3 hour walk to Emsworth along Wayfarer’s Walk on the edge of the saltings between Hayling Island and Thorney Island. In Emsworth, a typical English seaside town, we had a cappuchino in a delightful pub, talked with the white swans and their cygnets, and headed back to Havant past Warblington Castle, and St. Thomas a Beckett Church also in Warblington.
In the evening, we had a nice chat with David, Jackie and John’s son who is off to Nepal later this week to trek the Annapurna Circuit with his lovely wife Jules.
