Liverpool; Sunday, 11 April, 2010

I would have hoped it was déjà vu, but that only applies if you think something has happened before, but it hasn’t. No, this was just plain repetition, It’s the weekend, I’ve managed to make it to Victoria on route to Euston with plenty of time, only to find that the ticket gates were locked closed and nobody was being allowed onto the platform. Last time it was over crowding, this time it was a “faulty escalator” and so instead of having a relaxed journey up to Euston I once again found myself having to rush up to the station to catch my train out to Liverpool.

Thankfully, that was the only hiccup in what was then a very smooth journey up to Liverpool.

After checking into the hotel and dropping all my stuff off I headed out for a wander around the city. I had a long wander down to the docks and had a look around the Albert docks and around Pier Head where the most famous buildings of Liverpool are located.

Just as the sun was starting to set I headed over to the Wheel of Liverpool to take in the sunset from a slightly different angle.

By the time I made it back to the ground it was gone nine, so I quickly grabbed a bite to eat before heading back to the hotel.
