Liverpool (not footbal related)

Instead of creating a separate photo page I thought I'd just upload some of what I saw as we were in Liverpool on a Sunday-Tuesday to see a football match.

We stayed at a new hotel that pays homage to Liverpool's 'favourite' sons and it was a really great location to be able to explore and get a good feel for the city.

Liverpool was the 'European Capital of Culture for 2008 (it is Vilnius, Lithuania for 2009 if anyone is looking for a travel tip...) - so there was a tremendous amount of effort and funds devoted to a regeneration of certain areas and polishing of others that could be seen as we walked around.

our delayed train... can you see it? neither could we...

and this is why
It was a good trip - you can see the whole city in two days -- and we enjoyed it -- the people we met were nice, their accent is great, we had a really good meal, saw some history (recent, musical, WW2, maritime, etc) as well as the match at Anfield.
