We were greeted by a vocal band at Liverpool's cruise terminal,
which doubled as a Tourist Information center.


Our ship can be seen on the left hand side of the picture.

We took this RED HOHO bus, but first confirmed with the driver he was doing the BLUE route.
We wanted to complete the longer route first.

John Lennon's childhood home.
He lived here from 1945 to 1963, until he was 22.

After we looped back to the waterfront, we changed to a different HOHO bus to

This is the Royal Albert Dock,
which is now a huge complex of museums, offices, shops and restaurants.
