LIVERPOOL SIGHTSEEING

There is so much to see and to do in Liverpool; our moorings are right on the western edge of the City centre and are very convenient for sightseeing. The stillness of the early morning and reflections in the water are a sight that will remain with me for quite a while.
There are Jellyfish in the basin, the biggest are about 8 inches across, no swimming in their company.

We had a meal which was very good and value for money in the Philharmonic Dining Rooms, an Art Nouveau grade 2 listed building, designed by Walter Aubrey Thomas for Cain's brewery in 1898.
The Gents toilets are quite something; there is a notice in the corridor to the effect that 'Ladies can be found in these toilets' - they think of everything in Liverpool! Seriously, ladies are permitted to look at the toilets with the permission of the bar staff and that is as it should be.
