We decided to start our Friday
tour of the People’s Republic of Wirral by crossing the River Mersey. We’d
found an all-day travel ticket for just £5; though we had to journey from the
ferry dock to the rail station and back again on order to purchase it, and then
question the ferry staff to make sure that we were queuing for the right boat.
And as an added bonus, our ferry was a tourist ferry so we got live commentary
during our crossing; though it did mean that we couldn’t take the most direct
route. We got told about the river’s history as well as its modern-day usage. It
was quite windy out on deck but we each had a hat to cover ourselves, though I had
to wait until we were halfway to the second stop before the coffee shop opened;
at which point I found myself abandoning the idea. But it was a very novel way
to see the city’s skyline; especially with
The Beatles playing in between stops.
