Travelling - post 3

Hello again!

Cruise ship on Liverpool's harbor 

It’s been three days since I last wrote, but now as I’ve finally arrived Liverpool I think it’s time for you to get at least a little updated. The cruise I took wasn’t exactly the worst boat to be on, because everything there was well decorated and looked really expensive. The facility on the boat could have been better of range than just casino, swimming pool and mini golf, but I still enjoyed it. After all there was good to just relax for a couple of days. I’m just glad I didn’t get sea sick as I use to get. Well, enough about the cruise! Here in Liverpool there’s raining, raining and raining. Since I left the boat early this morning, the rain hasn’t even had a minute break. But I shall not complaint, England isn’t actually known for its’ good weather, and I’m not here for walking in the park. I’m here to watch some football! Liverpool Football Club has always been my favorite team, and I’m exciting to finally get the chance to see them live. But the match against Fulham has kick-off at 4 pm tomorrow, so today I’ve only bored myself with TV and a quick visit at the supermarket. On TV I saw a

St. Georges Cross, also known
as the national flag of England

documentary about England itself and saying it wasn’t interesting and instructive would be lying. I learned that England’s flag is called St. George’s Cross and has been used in almost 500 years. The Red Cross on a white background is only for England, while Britain has its’ own flag. There are over 51 million people living in England and the country even has its’ own national motto; “Dieu et mon droit”, French for “God and my right”.

"Dieu et mon Droit" 

The rest of the day will be spent on the hotel’s restaurant. It’s too bad they don’t serve breakfast in the evening, because I must admit I love the typical English breakfast! I realize I have to wait until tomorrow comes before having this delicious meal, so I think I’ll go for a steak. I’m really looking forward to the match tomorrow. Seeing my heroes crunching Fulham will be a perfect end of this great week.
