Blackpool on the Water

We fancied a break from Chinese food and got wind that there was an Irish bar in town, but first we decided to go for a stroll around the neighbourhood. A pleasant pathway wound its way through ancient trees offering scenic glimpses of the rivers and canals. The bannisters make it look like it’s something out of Labyrinth. At night there’s even mood lighting. At one time I felt like I was in Amsterdam with all the neon lights and boats cruising past. I even found a genuine lock, though it was much more controlled with a harbourmaster monitoring the doors rather than a sweaty man with a lock. We did have the chance to go on a boat, but we’d be spending most of the next day on one so we decided to miss it. Instead, we encountered local dance classes, ornate bridges and local bands all out on the water.
