Hi#
The cruise into Liverpool as usual was well worth the trip. we picked up our passengers Stanley top lock, ready for their trips down the locks, along Sids ditch then through Prince's dock Mann Island, Albert Dock and onto our moorings in Salthouse Dock. its a fantastic trip full of history, nostalgia and with the wind blowing at about 20 mph exciting, hair raising and bloody scary. However our passengers enjoyed it and were well impressed with the short but memorable cruise
As good hosts we escorted them back to their car that they had left at the side of the Titanic hotel in Stanley Lock what a beautiful hotel they have made extensive use of the old Rum Bonding Warehouse even retaining the brick vaulted ceiling and eventually (when the redevelopment of the area is complete will look out across the dock onto the Tobacco Bonded warehouse that is the largest Brick built building in the world currently being redeveloped into apartments.
Last night we managed to get to mass in the Cathedral even though it was the crypt, being in the crypt all the ceiling are brick vaulted and behind the alter the ceiling is vaulted in a star burst. I would be greatly surprised if any brickies could do the same today, and to think they did that with out the age of technology.
Today we have decided to do a bus trip (using our well earned bus passes) not sure where yet but I will be letting you know
