... area, lawn tennis courts, a band stand and a cafe! We had a great time.<br><br>Here is a website with more information about Sefton Park:<br>http://www.visitliverpool.com/ site/sefton-park-p90321<br>

... when we on vacation.<br>Last time I went back to Thailand the flight had arrived in Chiang Mai and taxied to the stand.<br>An elderly gentleman who was getting some luggage from the overhead lockers looked down at me and asked if I was as excited as I looked.<br>When I told him how I was not just visiting CM but that this is the place I call home he stepped to one side and said that I should get off the plane as quickly as possible ...

... so-to-speak. <br><br>We found it hard to get our head around the way Wigan was so much "into" Halloween. Everywhere we went there were fake skulls and skeletons, witches 'hair' and scary things hanging up. At our restaurant when the waiter came up to us, I nearly fell off my chair. I had to say to him, "I'm sorry, I'm finding it hard to get past all the (fake) blood over your face and white shirt to make an order!!" His face ...

... Airport was fun. It had a huge Yellow Submarine in front and other Beatles memorabilia inside.       This post isn't that exciting but I like to make a new one for each place so I can make my map bigger =) Here's the link was the album featuring Newcastle, Ilkley, and Liverpool.        http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=2 304201&amp;id=9633087&amp;l=61558fc838

... with Paul and the band - Band on the Run (he played guitar), Back in the USSR (Drums), and I Saw Her Standing There (drums). The night finished with a huge fireworks display and it was great. We didn't expect Paul to do that many songs but were incredibly happy. On Monday morning, we got up a little late and said goodbye to Fiona and Diane who were leaving back to Ireland. Then Dawn and I took a hop-on, hop-off tour of Liverpool, and almost fell asleep on the bus as the ...

... an hour, due to some problemes in Manchester. Yes I forgot to mention, we flew direct between Oslo and Manchester. So with the delay and some winds in our favour, we arrived Manchester around 1230, I guess. From Manchester Airport we took a cab to Holiday In Express at the Albert Docks in Liverpool. The taxi ride took about 50 minutes and cost 75 pounds. It's a rip off, we expected around 45-50. We got our ...

So this is it. Back in freezing cold, wet Blighty. We have been back for a week and fully enjoyed eating wonderfully non-spicy food, seeing scallies with manners and of course catching up with family and friends. And now we're borrrrred!! Thought we would send one last blog, with two self-indulgent, end of year top 10s (we should work for Channel 5). So here we go... Best 10 moments: 1 ...

... nice! I still love the australian wine above all the others! I had this delicious stack of fish and seafood with avocado - it was fantastic! Then chicken with creamy pasta for a main, and a really really rich chocolate and cream tart for dessert. Really really good food, and the service was fantastic too! Thanks so much guys! Got back to the house, and as far as i remember - got on the skype to mum and dad (as long as i'm not getting my days confused!) Zzz...

... Mugabe was thought-provoking and rather troubling. Unfortunately as there are no oil supplies to be gained there, this form of terror continues unabated without international intervention. <br><br>Back in Liverpool, we spent the evening in a couple of pubs around Mathew Street and the Cavern Club, getting the full appreciation of the Beatles cashing-in that is going on in the city. I wonder how much more cultured this milking could possibly be come 2008.
