Lovely Liverpool Day

This was probably one of the nicest days we'll have all year. Beautiful, sunny and hot! We had a wonderful day out in Liverpool doing all the things we'd always said we'd do but haven't yet. Started with Dim Sum at the restaurant above the big Asian supermarket. It was a first for both Grant and me, overall pretty good, but we accidentally ate some chicken feet!! Then we went to some markets. Then, the Yellow Duck Marine!! The old amphibious army vehicle that takes you around town and then in the water around the docks. Then we had a nice drink out on the patio in the sun. Followed off with an Indian Take-away. Nice.

I guess these people on the canal boats were getting annoyed that everyone in the Duck would wave at them and complained, so the guide made a point of telling everyone to wave at them!!!

This is the Flat we lived in in summer '06

That's us!

Albert Dock

Liver Building

Pirates!

Amsterdam V - Bols instead of Van Gogh

So, we waited in line outside the Van Gogh museum [in the pouring rain] for an hour before realizing it would be another hour before we got in. Then noticed the Bols liquor 'museum' across the street, so we did that instead.

Sometimes Grant has the best morning hair!

Doing a flavour taste test.

Smell tests

Back lit hair

At the end you come out into a cocktail bar and can order a fancy cocktail. Then they give you two more shots to try.

I ordered the cocktail that came with a stick of chocolate!

We did do some culture there, we went to the Rijksmuseum.

Waiting in the rain...

These tiles were a bit naughty.

Some cheeky bugger altering the signs in our cabin on the boat home.

Home again, with all our treasures!!

Amsterdam IV - When in Rome...

Just remember, it's not illegal there, wouldn't do it if it was.

Damkring - where they go in Oceans 12

Amsterdam III - Canals and Boats

Next time we're definitely going on the beer bike!!
