As we ate breakfast, we watched the ferry cross the Mersey. The old song came to mind setting the lighthearted tone for the day.
The Albert Docks was our target area. To reach it we walked past these beautiful government buildings. The Beatles Museum was a must see as well as the Maritime Museum there. They had a very informative exhibit on slavery and it's impact on maritme practices of the day. Lots of shops and galleries too. There are still boats being used and docked at Albert Dock, but they must be old/historically significant to be docked there. Don got into a long discussion with a very nice man at the port and he invited us to go aboard his boat there and have a beer. We have met such friendly people on this trip so far.
The sun was out, but the wind was strong making walking near the docks less enjoyable. We were able to see last lightship used on the Mersey River by Albert Dock and three lighthouses as we sailed out that evening.
