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 ...

... DW Stadium (JJB renamed - long story - you'll have to read the book I bought John on the life of Dave Whelan - he was a local who established JJB stadium for use by both league and football and has now set up his own company DW in competition with JJB in the sportsgoods business) and to watch the Kangaroos play in person. I've only ever watched them on TV. As John said, there was no real booming atmosphere, but the crowd was ...

... bit of a let down. Back downtown, there was plenty of shopping just near the hotel, so we spent the rest of our time browsing the boutiques, and picking up those last few things. We noticed a huge difference with a Liverpudlian accent, I could hardly understand what anyone was saying, it was almost like a different language. I just smiled and nodded a lot. Friday morning, started early - 4:00am, we hopped on a train to take us to Manchester ...
