Parr Street Hotel Liverpool

Well I am happy to report that despite postal strikes I have my passport back and a multiple entry visa stamp inside.<br>I was so relieved to have the passport back.I really do not like to be parted from it.<br>All I have to do now is get through the next 4 weeks at work.Oh well I am sure I will manage.<br>Bye for now.

We headed back into Liverpool today and to an enormous park. It is called Sefton Park. In Sefton Park there is a boating lake, a Victorian glass house (The Palm House), a bronzed statue of Peter Pan, a ...

Well now the time has come to start preparing for the next trip away.<br>Yesterday was taken up with getting passport photos(why do they always look like mugshots?)<br>I had to have my picture taken twice.In the first set it looked like I was smiling and the guy taking the photos asked me to keep my lips together for the next lot.<br>Well I dont know about this.<br>Why cant passport photos have us looking happy.Surely we are not ...

... they were booing the Aussies!!<br><br>We walk a lot of miles getting to the stadium from the hotel - "Only 15 mins walk, missus!", said the proprietor. Yeah right!!! It was at least an hour's brisk walk! Afterwards we walked into town for a bite to eat and as could be expected, every pub was overflowing onto the streets. We spied a tiny little restaurant up an alley way and had a wonderful meal there - away from the Madding ...

... that's the name of the restaurant!). An excellent Malaysian Curry. We then went along to the Pierhead where there was a light show projected on to the Port of Liverpool building. It was just a 15 minute practise for the following night. Sat 15th August It was windy, as forecast. No-one gets up early here. Places advertising breakfast don't open until 10.30am or 11.00am. The tourist Office and the Tate both open at 10am. Went to do Beatles Story part 2 at the Pierhead, which was ...

... first to Llangollen in North Wales. Very cute village. Very pretty. Drove over the Horseshoe Pass. Stopped for photos at side of the road where there was a very friendly sheep! Next went to Chester and had some free time. Very quaint city. Looks 16th Century but apparrently was rebuilt in the 19th (?) Century after a fire to look as it originally had. Nice to just look at the shops. In the afternoon we headed back to Liverpool for a tour with a ...

... lives in Warrington, so we saw the sites there yesterday and then went to an English pub...fun! Today, we slept in, we're trying to catch up on that. We went to Liverpool and stood on the stage where the Beatles first started...it was fun. We walked around Liverpool and then headed to Chester, which is ...

I got about ten minutes kip last night, and that was only after watching most of Eurotrip- so as you can imagine I am fairly knackered with little chance of sleep anytime soon, Liverpool airport never won awards for places to sleep- and the bar isn't open yet. My dad gave me a lift up here about 2am- hitting a rabbit on the way, unfortunate, we also saw prostitutes while driving through Stoke and I was amazed how many drivers sleep on the ...

... wherever possible....he he...only joking Mum...and get on my travelling toes and do some exploring. Hopefully I won't have scared too many people off by then so I may have some company:-P Finally, on the last leg of my trip, I'v arranged a voluntary placement which is based in an indiginous village near Lake Titicaca. There I'll be working in a school over the Christmas and New year period, so I'll possibly be doing some lovely Christmassy things with the kids. This ...

... so perhaps I needn&#8217;t be so dismissive. Just because a bogan like me can identify with something doesn&#8217;t mean it can&#8217;t also be regarded as &#8216;culture&#8217; by the more refined set. So while Ali headed out to Albert Dock for the Beatles Story museum, I took off for Anfield Road. <br><br>Liverpool Football Club: A soccer club of monumental proportions, massively successful in English and European competitions, a now glamorous ...
