THE `POOL TRIP

Isle of Man ferry

So we jumped the train and for £3.30 return had a day out in Liverpool. Had to share the train with many L`pool and Everton supporters as it was a local Derby match. Glad they all kept apart from each other.

It was a nice sunny day so we made our way down to the pierhead and sat watching the ferrys back an forth to Birkenhead. Ferry cross the Mersey who remembers the song and for a bonus point who sang it. Saw the ferry come in from the isle of man, think it was a hydro foil or jet foil. See if i got a pic and maybe someone can tell me.

Yes so a great day out let the train take the strain gave the tiller arm a rest.

Well you know it`s Liverpool when you look up and see the Liver Building.

This is Albert Dock. All the original dock buildings have been converted to shops, restaurants and best off all the maritime museum that has within it a customs & excise museum.

A nice surprise was the power boat racing on the Mersey put on for free by Honda. Plenty of hospitality tents and a large display of i would think every product Honda make. So maybe a cheap way of getting max publicity. SKY TV were in the helicopter filming the racing.

All aboard for a tour of the city and docks.

And they did say goes everywhere, but i thought TO the docks not IN them.

Inside the ADELPHI Hotel. YES i know they let any old riff-raff in nowadays including water gypsy`s.
