Yesterday (monday July 21st) I took the train from Croydon, up to Prestatyn, North Wales.
After dinner that evening we drove around the area which generally confirmed my early statement about the U.K. being “enchanted.” Simply beautiful country, and even in a tiny area like this, there’s an amazing local church.
Anyway, today I took the train into Liverpool, saw the two cathedrals, then went down to the albert dock to see the beatles museum, the maritime museum, and the international slavery museum. Then I took a quick stop on the train back to see the Lady Lever Art Gallery (on recommendation from paul.)
Tomorrow its off to Alton Towers for a day of “relaxing” if I can call it that, then thursday I head into Manchester.
Friday is undecided, but saturday is a day-trip to Dublin, Ireland… St. James Gate (makers of Guiness) factory tour here I come!
