Palataas taas<\/span> matkamuistoihin. Alusta asti oli selv\u00e4\u00e4 ett\u00e4 innokkuudesta huolimatt<\/span>a emme ehtisi viiden p\u00e4iv\u00e4 aikana tutkimaan montaakaan n\u00e4ht\u00e4vyytt\u00e4 vaikka valvoisimme kaiket y\u00f6t. Valvoimme siis vain yhden y\u00f6n (matkustaen ja k\u00e4tk\u00f6illen)<\/span>. Teimme etuk\u00e4teen selke\u00e4n, kumpaakin miellytt\u00e4v\u00e4n jaottelun. Yksi p\u00e4iv\u00e4 shoppailuun, yksi p\u00e4iv\u00e4 geok\u00e4tk\u00f6ilyyn ja yksi p\u00e4iv\u00e4 n\u00e4ht\u00e4vyyksiin. Yksi p\u00e4iv\u00e4 meni puhtaasti y\u00f6matkustamisesta (ja y\u00f6k\u00e4tk\u00f6ilyst\u00e4)<\/span> toipumiseen ja sy\u00f6miseen (perinteinen englantilain<\/span><\/span>en su<\/span><\/span>nd<\/span><\/span>ay roast, namnam!)<\/span>. Viimeinen p\u00e4iv\u00e4 taas piti varata matkustamiseen.<\/span><\/p>\n

Time to<\/span> return to the trip memories. Since the beginning it was clear that despite of our enthusiasm, we couldn’t do much sightseeing during five days, even if we’d stay up all night. So we stayed up only one night (travelling and geocaching)<\/span>. In advance we made clear plan. One day for shopping, one day for geocaching and one day for sighseeing. One day we spend to recover from night travelling (and night geocaching)<\/span> and eating (traditional english sunday roast, yummy!)<\/span>. Last we had to spend on travelling again. <\/span><\/p>\n

Edellisell\u00e4 matkalla<\/span> tutustuimme Brightonin satamalaituriin, Heverin linnaan j<\/span>a Ha<\/span>mpton Court palatsiin. Tarinoita ja kuvia edellisest\u00e4 matkasta voit tutkailla t\u00e4\u00e4lt\u00e4<\/a> ja t\u00e4\u00e4lt\u00e4<\/a>. T\u00e4ksi kerraksi v<\/span>alittiin v\u00e4h\u00e4n erilaisia kohteita. Minua kiinnostavat toki suositutkin turistin\u00e4ht\u00e4vyydet, mutta yht\u00e4 lailla olen kiinnostunut pienist\u00e4 pittoreskeista kylist\u00e4 ja ihmisist\u00e4. Varsinaisia karakt\u00e4\u00e4rej\u00e4 t\u00e4ll\u00e4 matkalla kohtasimmekin. Matkalla p\u00e4iv\u00e4n p\u00e4\u00e4kohteeseen pys\u00e4hdyimme aamupalalla paikallisella kes\u00e4grillill\u00e4. Keli oli mit\u00e4 upe<\/span>in ja se oli houkutellut paikalle niin motoristeja kuin ampiaisiakin (jotka yrittiv\u00e4t osingoille)<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n

On our <\/span>last trip to England we went to see Brighton Pier, Hever Castle and Hampton Court Palace. Stories and photos from that trip you can see <\/span><\/span><\/span>here<\/a><\/span><\/a> and here<\/a>.<\/span> <\/span>For this time we chose something a bit different. I am interested traditional tourist attractions, but I am equally interested in small towns and villages and local people. Before arriving our main target for the sightseeing day we stopped for breakfast at local summer caf\u00e9. Weather was gorgeous and it lured motorists and bees (that tried to get their share)<\/span> to the caf\u00e9<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n

FISHBOURNE ROMAN PALACE
<\/span><\/div>\n

Fishbournen roomalainen<\/span> palatsi, p\u00e4\u00e4kohteemme, on yksi Englannin t\u00e4r<\/span>keist\u00e4 arkeologisista kaivauksista. Itse palatsi tuhoutui tulipalossa ja siit\u00e4 on j\u00e4ljell\u00e4 en\u00e4\u00e4 vain vahingossa<\/span> l\u00f6ytyneet lattiat, mutta millaiset lattiat! Toinen toistaan n\u00e4ytt\u00e4v\u00e4mpi\u00e4 mosaiikki-koristeisia lattioita<\/span> on kai<\/span>vettu esiin 60-luvulta l\u00e4htien jo useita. Palatsi on ollut kooltaan niin suuri ett\u00e4 puolet sen perustuksista on hautautunut uusien talojen ja teiden alle joten niit\u00e4 tuskin koskaan saadaan pelastettua<\/span>. Museossa voi s\u00e4ilyneiden mosaiikkien lis\u00e4ksi ihmetell\u00e4 roomanaikaista keskusl\u00e4mmitysj\u00e4rjestelm\u00e4\u00e4, t<\/span>yypillist\u00e4 roomalaista puutarhaa sek\u00e4 kaivauksista l\u00f6ytynytt\u00e4 esineist\u00f6\u00e4. Luu-faneille l\u00f6y<\/span>tyy my\u00f6s<\/span> pari luurankoa. T\u00e4m\u00e4 museo on my\u00f6skin ensimm\u00e4inen n\u00e4kem\u00e4ni museo jossa p\u00e4\u00e4see kosketuksiin varsinaisten arkeologisten tutkimusten kanssa. Vierailijoilla on p\u00e4\u00e4sy tutkimus-keskukseen jossa voi n\u00e4hd\u00e4 (vain ikkunan takaa tietenkin)<\/span> miten esineist\u00f6\u00e4 s\u00e4ilytet\u00e4\u00e4n ja millaisissa olosuhteissa tutkijat ty\u00f6skentelev\u00e4t. Ja jos osut paikalle sopivaan aikaan saatat p\u00e4\u00e4st\u00e4 juttelemaan jopa museon johtajan kan<\/span>ssa, joka kehotti meit\u00e4 tutustumaan kiinnostaviin esill\u00e4 olevin esineisiin sill\u00e4 se olisi h\u00e4nen mukaansa suo<\/span>rastaan rikos jos emme olisi niin tehneet.<\/span><\/p>\n

Fishbourne roman <\/span>palace is one of the main archeological sites in England. Palace itself was destroyed in a fire but floors still excist. They have been digging these gorgeous mosaic floors up since the 60’s. Palace was so large they will never get all of it, because half of it is buried under modern houses and roads. In addition to mosaics you can see in the museum roman heating system, typical roman garden and items found from the site. For bone fans there is also two skeletons there. this museum is the first I have seen where you can actually see how items are stored and where scientists work (although only through the glass)<\/span>. And if you happen to have perfect timing you might meet the head of the museum. He adviced us to have a look at the preserved items on display because according to him it would have been criminal if we didn’t. <\/span><\/p>\n

LITTLEHAMPTON<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

Palatsista suuntasimme<\/span> Littlehamptoniin joka on Brightonin tapaan satamakaupunki, mutta huomattavasti pienempi ja ehk\u00e4 my\u00f6s idyllisempi. Is\u00e4nt\u00e4 osti vesi kiel<\/span>ell\u00e4 sataman kalakojusta purkillisen mystist\u00e4 herkkua nimelt\u00e4 “cockles”. Se n\u00e4ytti ep\u00e4m\u00e4\u00e4r\u00e4iselt\u00e4 mutta vakuuttaakseni is\u00e4nn\u00e4lle kaikkiruokaisuuteni (jolla aina reteilen)<\/span> maistoin pari. Kyseess\u00e4 on syd\u00e4nsimpukka joka on paikallinen, viinieti<\/span>kan kera nautittava kylm\u00e4 herkku. V\u00e4h\u00e4n kuin s\u00f6isi frutti di mare-pitsan simpukoita j\u00e4\u00e4k<\/span>ylm\u00e4<\/span>n\u00e4 purkista, paitsi ett\u00e4 n\u00e4m\u00e4 ratisivat hampaissa. Ei se ulkon\u00e4\u00f6st\u00e4\u00e4n huolimatta ollut pahaa, mutta tuskin sai<\/span>sin koko purkillista sy\u00f6ty\u00e4. Is\u00e4nn\u00e4n herkkua.<\/span><\/p>\n

From the palace<\/span> we headed towards Littlehampton. It is harbour town like Brighton, but smaller and maybe a bit more rustic. Boyfriend bought a portion of mystical delicasy called cockles. I had to check from the dictionary back at home what those actually are. I tasted couple to demonstrate him my omnivorous habbits (which I always brag with)<\/span>. It crackled between my teeth. It wasn’t bad, but I doubt that I can eat whole portion. Boyfriend loves them. <\/span>

ARUNDEL CASTLE & TOWN<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

Littlehamptonista l\u00e4hdimme<\/span> iltap\u00e4iv\u00e4ll\u00e4 palailemaan tukikohtamme Redhilliin, mutta sit\u00e4 ennen poikkesimme pieness\u00e4 Arundelin kaupungissa, jossa sijaitsee yksi Etel\u00e4-Englannin upeimmista linnoista. Valitettavasti linna ja pienet putiikit olivat jo kiinni mutta tied\u00e4mme aina<\/span>kin minne p<\/span>alaamme seuraavalla matkalla. T\u00e4ss\u00e4, kuten monessa muussakin englantilaisessa linnassa asutaan e<\/span>delleen<\/span> vaikka osa linnasta onkin museona. Kaupunkilaiset ovat yst\u00e4v\u00e4llist\u00e4 porukkaa ja pienet putiikit houkuttelevat poikkeamaan sis\u00e4\u00e4n. Arundelissa voi my\u00f6s kes\u00e4ll\u00e4 vuokrata pienen veneen ja sou<\/span>della Arun-joella joka virtaa kaupungin halki. Linnaa ihastellessamme huomasimme vallihaudas<\/span>sa pieni\u00e4 has<\/span>suja<\/span> el\u00e4imi\u00e4. Ruskeita pitk\u00e4h\u00e4nti\u00e4 oli t\u00f6yr\u00e4\u00e4ll\u00e4 5-6 ja ne uiskentelivatkin vallihaudassa. Otin niist\u00e4 illan jo h\u00e4m\u00e4rtyess\u00e4 pari suttuista kuvaa. Pois l\u00e4htiess\u00e4 t\u00f6rm\u00e4simme linnan portilla kolmeen linnassa ty\u00f6skentelev\u00e4\u00e4n rouvaan ja kysyimme heilt\u00e4 tiet\u00e4v\u00e4tk\u00f6 he mit\u00e4 el\u00e4imi\u00e4 tuolla vallihaudassa el\u00e4\u00e4. Rouvat olivat kovin h\u00e4mm\u00e4styneit\u00e4 ja v\u00e4ittiv\u00e4t ettei siell\u00e4 mit\u00e4\u00e4n el\u00e4imi\u00e4 el\u00e4. Vastasimme <\/span>ett\u00e4 kyll\u00e4 el\u00e4\u00e4 ja n\u00e4ytimm<\/span>e kuvia. Yhteistuumin tulimme siihen tulokseen ett\u00e4 niiden oli oltava vesi<\/span>rottia. Kaikkea sit\u00e4 n\u00e4kee. Rouvista oli kovin hassua ett\u00e4 vallihaudassa asusti vesirottia ja meist\u00e4<\/span> oli hausk<\/span>aa t\u00f6rm\u00e4t\u00e4 n\u00e4ihin hurmaaviin paikallisiin naisiin.<\/span><\/p>\n

From Littlehampton<\/span> we left back towards our home base in Redhill. On our way we stopped at small town of Arundel<\/span>. <\/span>One of the most magnificent castles in South England is located there. Unfortunately castle and all little shops were already closed but atleat we know where we return on our next trip. Local people are friendly and small boutiques lure to pop in. In the summer you can even rent a small boat and sail along the river Arun. When admiring the castle we noticed some small animals in the moat. I snapped couple blurry photos of them. There were about 5-6 small born longtails there swimming in the moat. When we were leaving we encountered three ladies by the castle gate. We asked from them if they knew what animals are living in the moat. They said there is no animals living in the moat. We said yes there is and showed them those photos. Together we decided those must be water rats. It was rather funny to the ladies to hear that there is animal living in the moat and it was amusing to us to meet those lovely ladies. <\/span>
