Day 38 – Cathedrals & Towers

Well, it looked dry, so we set out with dog in tow for the Anglican cathedral, the Catholic Cathedral and then the Radio Tower …

It really is an awesome church – huge! And I think the longest in the world and fifth largest overall. Also the tallest without a spire!

Not the prettiest of places but definitely huge!

With a lot of modern influences

And then it started to rain but only a bit  . . we walked on, past the Philharmonic Hall (and pub) towards the Catholic cathedral. We walked around this new bit of Liverpool, trying to find a pub that accepted dogs – no luck. So sandwiches from Sainbury’s and a rest in the park (St George’s?) and very well kept it was too.  We then ventured up St John’s Beacon or the Radio City tower for a panoramic view:

They actually have radio studios up here from which they broadcast to the city – nice office window view.  I felt slightly giddy as it seemed so exposed!

That far peninsula is New Brighton – our Sunday outing.

A couple of videos . . 

Then back on the boat – another 15,000 step day! And time for “Gin O’Clock”

The con trails in the sky were speaking to us – go to Scotland or since they share the same flag … Tenerife!!
