I am desperately looking for something to do this lovely weekend. I am a long-term American visitor and I am working in Portsmouth (no friends, nothing to do except walk around by myself, dinner for 1 and staring at the walls)
I'm hoping to find someone with a free afternoon, either in the area or within a 2 hour train ride, who would be willing to show me around, lunch, drinks, dinner, or whatever ... confused
I am capable of entertaining myself - but it's getting REALLY old!

If you cannot find anyone May I offer some cosntructive suggestions - If possible, rent a car and spend a whole day at the National Motor Museum at Beaulieu and Palace house.
and the Bucklers Hard Maritime Museum
which is only a cpuple of miles from Beaulieu.

Beaulieu is near Brockenhurst, about 40 miles from Havant

cheers

rolling on the floor laughing
sorry I can not keep from laughing ... rent a car? I'd do that if people drove on the correct side of the road here. Maybe after I master looking the right way while crossing the street, I'll consider driving.
I currently just take trains and taxis (or walk) so that limits me a little - but I get around.
I have never heard of the museums that you mentioned - maybe I can navigate there at some point. It still does not solve the 'alone' part of my issue frustrated

laugh He said he was desperate for something to do. But, obviously talk to hand not that desperate that he had to spend a day at a maritime and motor museum rolling on the floor laughing
