Liverpool; Sunday, 16 July, 2017

A slightly less chaotic breakfast meant I actually had a table in the breakfast area but it was still very cramped.

Breakfast completed I headed out into town and over to the St Johns Beacon tower – home to the city’s radio stations and an impressive viewing gallery to take in the views over the city, down the Mersey to its mouth and into the hills of North Wales.

Back down at street level I picked up a bus to travel under the river across to Birkenhead and to go for a wander round Birkenhead Park. The park was the first public park in the world, and was the inspiration for Central Park in New York – with many features looking familiar from my visit there earlier in the year.

Having wandered round the whole of the park I headed back into Liverpool city centre for some lunch and then made my way down to the Liverpool Museum at the Pier Head.

When I’d last visited the museum was in the final stages of being constructed so I’d wanted to have a look round the impressive building and the large collection of items on display.

I had a long look round the museum, but running out of time to see everything as the museum was starting close before I got to see the last of the exhibits.

From the museum, I walked the short distance along the waterfront to the Mersey ferry terminal to pick up the Ferry for its 60 minutes cruise along the Mersey (with several renditions of that song…)

Back at Pier Head I headed back to the hotel to drop my stuff off and then headed out for dinner.

I had a meeting with a customer in Liverpool on the Monday morning so after dinner I had an early night to be ready for the following mornings meeting and then my journey back home.
