Quest for Ireland

Well, I'm excited to go to Ireland, but there are many things to research. For beginners, we have to know whether we can be getting back to UK if we go out of UK. You see, it is not recommended but generally, tourists just go in and out of UK without any problems. My friends did it before, but I still have to find more info. Then, the places, the accommodation, the prices, budget, and traveling issues.

Crosby Beach

12 June 2010 - Crosby

Yesterday was a fine day for me, which is cloudy for most of the day. We planned this trip because we want to go to the beach. The main reason is that we are not sure if the beach is really a 'beach', that's why we are going to check it out.

We took bus 53 at Queens Square at £1.00 on a single way journey. The journey took less than an hour. And so we arrived. The first thing I noticed is the sand dunes stretched across the beach and a whole lot of iron men across the beach. Example:

The thing about the beach is no water activities allowed, because it's muddy and it seems that sometimes the waves are strong. After almost an hour having fun exploring on the beach, we decided to walk down the path that seems endless.

There are benches along the path with small memorial plates to the deceased people of the town. (we ate our lunch while sitting on those benches) We find that at the end of the path is a town called Hightown. Since the bus service ended long ago, we have no choice but to take train which cost us £2.80 back to Liverpool.

Some random photos of our little adventure:

A faraway town can be seen, I put my penny on New Brighton.
