Tourism

Liverpool

Posted on by insightndes

I am staying at the Premier Inn at the Albert Docks, a brilliant location,

An amazing view of the Albert Docks, the Mersey and the nearby iconic buildings. The hotel is in a re-purposed warehouse.

The ceiling is vaulted.
The view keeps changing.

I didn’t just stay in my room, as wonderful as it was.

At the Prince’s Half Tide Dock
The new Everton FC stadium.

They’re sculptures and monuments near the Tide Dock.

The propeller from the Lusitania, torpedoed in the First World War.

A view towards my hotel room.

For a day of sight seeing it is worth while getting a day saver ticket. Travel on trains, buses and the ferry.

Had a look around Crosby.

Looking towards Liverpool,

Back to the city centre and it’s time to take the Ferry Across the Mersey. With bike.

The ferry is a bit smoky.
Wallasey town hall

Crossed the Mersey and cycled to New Brighton.

Looking towards Crosby
Liverpool Docks from the other side of the Mersey.

Cycled towards Birkenhead.

The ferry.

And it’s back across on the ferry. A band boarded with their instruments, I assume to do a show on the ferry later.

Albert dock with the Anglican cathedral behind.
The Liver Birds.

Cycled a bit around Liverpool on return to the shore.

Visiting the largest Anglican cathedral, anywhere, I believe.

And then visited the Catholic cathedral.

Sunlight being caught on the uni buildings.
Looking between cathedrals.
Chinatown arch.

Liverpool is a vibrant, interesting city.
