We were given a King Room (offer again which included a ferry ride and a bus ride) which turned out to be what I would call a Family Room (big space for another bed and communicating door with the next room). Lovely fluffy towels and a walk in shower although not as modern as the hotel in Harrogate.
Must say the weather was awful. Cold, windy and wet! We had spent the previous day visiting the Maritime Museum but as there was so much to see we went back there.

You were not allowed to take photographs where the Titanic Exhibition was but I did not see the sign until the end (honestly) so I do not feel it is right for me to show any pictures that I took. This is the only photo I took (after asking) the next day at the Migrant Exhibition where the exhibition, again, was very interesting, well done and of interest to the young children who were going around doing a quiz and playing with the interactive exhibits.
From there we went into the "Seized" exhibition which dealt with smuggling both past and present and then up to the floor with the Lusitania exhibition on. This featured other ships, not just that one.
I must say that all the exhibitions are excellent and well worth a visit, especially on a cold wet day. Just a word of warning though, the lifts have a habit of doing their own thing. On pressing to go down you often found you went up first, calling on all floors. Amusing - Annoying?
I was "museum'd out" by this time so a little bus ride was in order to see the architecture of the Central Library. WOW! Loved the walkway with all the book titles
Escalator and cafe to the left
Impressive or what?
(asked permission, was obsessed by asking now)
St Georges Hall
Who is this?
My Clever photo - 4 things to see
The two stone lions guarding St George's Hall, the Wellington Column far right and the lady on horseback (did you guess, it was Queen Victoria?) I thought it was good that I got them all on one picture. And to finish off, I liked this pub just down the road - so colourful.
more tomorrow ... featuring a bad night
