We extended our stay in Liverpool (having found a good grassy place to walk Scooby) to the full week and will leave early Wednesday morning. We've loved our stay here, having a proper sightseeing holiday. There have been some windy moments; Sunday night in particular when the winds howled around the dock and waves lapped around the bow. But there's also been lots of sunshine and, marvellously, hardly any rain. The docks are noisy and busy, but full of life. Its been sociable; we went for drinks with the crew of Iris and caught up with the crew of Chance (who we first met in Leeds) when they arrived on Sunday.
Here are some photos from our stay so far:
 |
| Jo did a walking tour of cathedrals; this is the Anglican Cathedral. It's huge, the biggest in the country. |
 |
| And this is the Catholic cathedral, known as Paddy's Wigwam. |
 |
| Robin chose a less breezy afternoon to go paddle-boarding in the dock. |
 |
We went on an open topped bus tour.
You can just see Harold in the foreground and the Albert dock buildings in the background.

| This is the Poke-stop on the Mersey riverside! |
 |
| Activity on the river was fun to watch. Two battleships moored for a few days |
 |
| and then were replaced by a cruise liner. The boat in the foreground is the ferry to the Isle of Man. |
 |
| We went across the river on this Mersey ferry. |
 |
| This is the Liverpool skyline, taken from the ferry. |

One sunny evening, we walked as far as we could up the route of the Liverpool Link we had sailed down to get here:
