Dragons and tourists.

Our friends, Steve and Heather, set off at 7:45 to make their way back up the locks to join the Leeds and Liverpool canal. At 10 am we went for a walk to Queens dock – hoping to see the Dragon boats races.

On our meander today we took in an exhibition of aerial photography, the Dragon boat racing, Cains brewery (village), Liverpool cathedral and stocked up at a chinese supermarket. We saw some lovely buildings, drank a beer, ate cake – with tea – and were back on Jannock by 3:30pm. A short stroll? And then Brenda went for a look at the Tate.

Another sociable evening – Brenda’s brother Bruce and nephew Josh happened to be staying the night in a hotel over the road from Jannock’s mooring. From Ilchester and for one night only, checking out Uni courses. Following our progress, he realised that

we were here as tourists rather than just passing through and so we were able to plan a ‘Fathers day’ meal. The recommendation we have received for ‘Tiger Rock Hawker’ (postcode L2 9U) is wholly endorsed by us all. It was the best meal out that we have had for a very long time, and an easy 10 minute walk from our mooring.

As residents here for all of just over one day, we took them on the longer tourist trail back to our beds with very full tummies.
