Liverpool tour by the RC Jodrell Bank. Beautiful city (sorry Manchesterians but it is true). We got onto the yellow duckmarine, for an amphibian tour of an hour!!! We wandered around a little, saw a few shops in the Albert Dock area. Visited an exhibition about ships, world wars, and even practised in identifying the criminals in a port (talking about interactive museums!!).
Lusitania disaster in 1915: "The German Government claimed that Lusitania was carrying military supplies and there is some evidence to support this". Strange how different nations and countries change roles in less than a century... (the States, the UK and the rest of the "coalition of the willing" indifferently whistle here)...
The Slavery Museum was astonishing, I was left speechless: "It tells how Europeans have benefited from slavery". Made me wonder whether contemporary people are free at all or is it that slavery still exists in a more diverse and entrenched form.
