We are excited to be in Liverpool, although the virus is going to restrict us somewhat. We are staying near the Albert Dock, the vibrant heart of Liverpool’s historic waterfront.
Whilst in Liverpool, the UK is hit by a two day heatwave. Temperature reaches a day time high of 36 degrees. Fortunately, our hotel is air conditioned. We were to do a bike tour of the city, but the heat and our health ruled that out. Instead, we opted for a sedate ferry ride on the Mersey, and the British Music Experience.
Liverpool is notable for its mix of massive, spectacular old buildings, and a large number of new. The old dock area has been nicely renovated, and an extensive pedestrian friendly shopping precinct is nearby.
Our final night in Liverpool, we dine ”al fresco”, as the evening temperature is very mild. The next day is threatening to be even hotter!
