I took another photo of the statue of the emigrant family, from a different angle

The fourth member of the family, a small boy, is depicted playing with a crab, to indicate the connection with the sea.

There were boats to see in Albert Dock

.....and I took a photo of the Royal Daffodil, a ferry which links the various ports on the Mersey.

This is the new Liverpool Arena and conference centre, due to open early next year.

We also visited Chester Zoological Gardens

The Hunter Green camo print is always good to wear on zoo visits.

Ann studies the lion enclosure as one of the zoo's monorail trains passes overhead.
