Photo page - first two weeks of trip

We have been travelling for 2 weeks now and have taken over 700 photo's. Here are an assortment of them.




The first photo is a shot from the bottom of Helsby Hill. Helsby is the small town we started our journey at. Helsby Hill is the feature of the town and the Liverpool docks were built out of the sandstone taken from this hill. In this photo Scott and the children are at the bottom of the hill, ready to go through the tunnel and then walk up the hill. The sandstone has alot of red in it which was laid down when Britain was in the tropics on the equator (a point for the geologists amongst us!)


When we finally got up the hill (mind you it was about 8.30am and about 7 degrees, we had a great view over the area, including the Mersey River and Liverpool in the distance. Here we are on top of the hill:

After a few days of exploring Chester and the area surrounding Helsby, Scott, William and Elizabeth took a bus trip (in awful rain) to Liverpool to discover and explore the township where our nieghbours from Mornington, Ted and Lillian, come from. Here is William and Elizabeth enjoying the bus! and here is a photo of the Liverpool docks.
























We have discovered that there are many differently colored front doors in England. This one Elizabeth particularly liked!
