Liverpool

Our last trip to Liverpool was an enjoyable one, despite the poor weather. Almost a year since our last visit and despite the fact it was Summer once again, the weather this time round was even worse! There was the odd bit of sunshine here and there but we made the most of it during our weekend stay near the city's Albert Dock.

I was hoping for good weather so I could get to work with the camera but again my chances were scuppered so I just had to settle for what I could get, under the circumstances. The sun broke through the clouds as we walked past Albert Dock and through the residential area known as The Anchorage. This was quite a picturesque setting with many boats and yachts moored there. Looking back along towards the dock you could see the Ferris Wheel and Liver Building.

After a bite to eat in The Pumphouse we headed through LiverpoolOne towards the shopping centre for a spot of retail therapy. Later we made our way up to the Cavern Quarter and walked through Matthew Street, passing the Cavern Club and Wall Of Fame on the way.

Well, bollocks to the weather. It's all about about making the most of, and we had a great time. Mind you, it wasn't all about Liverpool. Last year we visited Chester while we were in the area and it was time to revisit, along with an appearance at a rather damn tasty Indian restaurant in Ellesmere Port. Aye, ya didn't think the curry addict would pass up an opportunity like that, did ya (he he). I'll tell you more about it in my next blog entry - coming soon!
