Manchester via Liverpool

The bus headed south towards Liverpool today on route to Manchester. It has been very wet in this part of the country so the Ferry across the Mersey River was not an option..apologies to Gerry and the pacemakers. The crew went on a guided tour around this 'Beatles' town having lunch at the Richmond tavern, travelled down Penny Lane and veiwed some Strawberry Fields. The museum was interesting, but possibly the highlight of the day was a small group of Wattlesprigs venturing into the Cavern Bar, the site where the Beatles first played, and sang a few songs with a guitarist that was performing.

The crew got back onto the bus and headed towards Manchester late afternoon and arrived at our Hotel in time to wander the streets of this thriving city for dinner. Many of the group headed to China town for some magnificent Cantonese food, while others relaxed at the motel and watched the end of the British Open....Go John Senden!!!

More pics to follow on Liverpool, when at hand. Off to Rawtenstall, Manchester today if the rain holds out.
