5. Portsmouth Harbour
After all of that excitement, I treated myself to an ice cream at Gunwharf Quays, where shopping fans can also visit more than 90 retailers or dine at over 30 restaurants, bars and coffee shops. From here, I rode off into the sunset on a Voi electric scooter. These have become an established, if controversial, feature of Portsmouth over the past two years and are a convenient way to cover some ground. I spent just under £3 on my ride, but a £10 Voi pass can buy a full day’s travel around the city.As it turned out, £50 was more than enough to have a fantastic afternoon in Portsmouth. My total spend came to just over £33, though the slot machines could easily have bankrupted me had I not found the willpower to leave the arcade. Of course, Portsmouth is full of free activities too and I barely scratched the surface during my caper.Picture: Marcin Jedrysiak Photo: Marcin Jedrysiak
