Liverpool a great little city

We had a great time in Liverpool. A great little city. We had an old hotel, fantastic decorations, large rooms, but crappy WiFi. The hotel was central to everything we needed and we mostly walked the entire four days.

There are many nice, little museums to visit. The city was once the centre of trade. Lots of cotton came here and with it slaves who were forced to build the city. I was working but Iris and the kids visited the slave museum.

Now, it seems to me, the city is recovering from a long rough period. With tourism the old industrial buildings are being transformed into pubs, museums, hotels and condos. The city also has a fantastic area designated Unesco Heritage Centre. Here are some of our highlights from Liverpool.

Sam loves his breakfast at Moose Coffee. No meat? Wrong. The bacon is cooked into the pancake.

St. Georges Courtroom is 125 years old. The sitting judge is 11 years old.

Kids loved Fruit Punch tea. Yuck!

Friday we have an early flight to Dublin and a connecting flight to Vienna. The UK has been very kind to us.
