Our train didn't leave Liverpool Lime Street until just before 2 p.m which gave us the chance to have breakfast in Albert Dock again and get the passenger ferry across the Mersey. And yes they do play that song by Gerry and the Pacemakers which I'm sure the locals who use the ferry everyday to get to and from the Wirrel get heartily fed up with hearing.
It's just a 10 minute ride to Seacombe where there isn't a great deal to see but it's the crossing that's the important part of this very short journey. To be fair you can get off at Birkenhead but we just didn't have the time to look round there.
All too quickly we ran out of time. There is so much to do in Liverpool and we are already planning our next visit which will include a visit to Birkenhead, a journey down the canal to Manchester and a tour of Anfield.
Got talking in passing to a couple of middle aged Scousers getting on the ferry. They asked where we came from:
"We come from Norwich where they have a proper football team," we said.
"I'd dig up every bloody football, rugby and cricket pitch and plant potatoes," one of them replied in the manner of Jim Royle from the Royle Family.
I thought it best not to pursue this line of discussion!!!!!
We were back home by 7.30 p.m to face the usual volume of junk mail and forms that need to be filled in!!
