Liverpool

After a huge lunch we can barely climb up the stairs to the upper deck of the ferry that carries us to Belfast. What's happend to the English cooks that the food is not only digestable, but even tasty?! ;)

I'm just sitting and recollecting our yesterday's visit in Liverpool. I must admit, I am enchanted with the city, and what strikes me most is its architecture, being a wonderful, well-balanced mix of the modern and the old style.

The first of the buildings to have a closer look at is the Liverpool Cathedral, representing the old architectural endevors. You can get to the top of the tower to admire the stunning panoramic view of the city, the port and river Mersey, also the interior of the cathedral can be viewed from a balcony, and, actually, it's the only way to see the inside, as it is the day when the academic year ends (Liverpool is a large university centre), and the church is filled with the proud graduates.

Next we go to Albert's Dock, where we find local Tate Gallery. We join a group of people with hearing disabilities. Dave, a young guide, assisted by a finger-language-translator passionately uncovers the mysteries of Picasso's painting. His enthusiastic account inspires us deeply. There might be some meaning in modern art sometimes...

Sometimes one might find a nice museum devoted to music too. Bo no means does it apply to The Beatels Museum in Liverpool. Except for a couple of guitars, Lenon's white grand piano, some longplays and books there is barely anything to see. What's more, the overabundance of information flowing from several sources at the same time is unbearable. After 15 minutes I had enough. Fortunately, at the very end one might find a few good pictures.
