I have promised Arlita and her husband Sherhan some while ago while I was still in UK last year that I will help them buy Liverpool football Club mechandises. And after some donkey months, I finally make my way there with T .

We planned a day trip there since both of us have to be back at work the next day. Off we went, at *forget-what-date*.

^^^^^^

As usual, we went there by train. Trains, it seemed are the only transportation we took to ‘faraway’ places. Coaches were cheaper but the timing were way too weird.

We reached there in the morning at 10am I remembered and it was a cloudy morning. Though we were kinda used to the gloomy weather, but heck what a bore when the day started with threatening dark clouds during summer period! We had KFC for breakfast and off we went to Liverpool Football Club before we set off to sight seeing.

aaah…….that man(Gerrad?) scored important goals in the World Cup for England!

After much debate what to buy, I decided to make long distance calls to Sherhan to confirm what he actually liked. Finally settled at 2 sunshades and 1 mini scarf. All for the car. Yeah, shopping done!

^^^^^^

We decided to start from the Wharf…aiyah…forget that name again.

The Wharf has quite a few attractions. One of which, was the Beatles shop; the art gallery; maritime museum etc.

While we were there, apparently there was a yacht competition that has just ended. The yachts were docked there to prepare to leave.

The yachts. I’m surprised to see Singapore Yacht there!

We took a short visit to the art gallery called Tates and the Beatles shop. But they don’t interest us though, so we left after spending a few minutes there.

The cannon

^^^^^^

After the riverside visit, we decided to visit the city area. We took a long walk from the river to the Cathedral and Chinatown.

The Chinatown. The altar( is that what u called?) is the biggest in the UK

Not far from the Chinatown, there is the largest Anglican Cathedral in the UK. Wow. It is huge.

The Cathedral.

The Cathedral look like any other cathedrals from afar. But when you are at it, this is what

and how you will feel:

At the bottom. It looms over your head.

Very impressive in there, and the interior is unlike any other cathedrals I have seen. At least something new.

^^^^^^

On our way to another church, we came by these on the pavement.

Fake suitcases!

gasps! why are they there?!

Actually there is an explanation but forgot what it is la….:P

^^^^^^

Now we have reached another church, this time the mother of catholic churchs in the UK. It has a very modern design so much that, I don’t quite get used to it.

The mother of all Catholic churches.

^^^^^^

As the day went on, it started to get warmer and the sun is out!!!

After long walks to different places, before we set off, we wanted to go see this ‘Super Lamb Banana’. Strange huh, what is it…and we rushed to this place and we found it.

It is now situated in the financial district of Liverpool. Hmm…what a strange place to be in.

aarghhh….very heavy!

Finally it is time to go. We did managed to visit all the important places of interest, but we don’t have time for shopping!!!

One thing we realised about this city, there were throngs of people walking all over the place, but there were not much noises and clutters! People are actually whispering to each other!

A good day overall for both T & me. Way to go, Liverpool!
