Asuka II



Currently at anchor in the Mersey, in view of our office window is a Japanese cruise liner - the Asuka II. The picture came from the internet as I don't have anything to take a photo with right now.

The new landing stage is nowhere near finished yet, so a couple of ferries have been requisitioned to ferry the Jap tourists from ship to shore.

The first wave has landed and is charging towards the Beatles Museum with a cry of Banzai!

The view from your office is so much better than ours. All I can see is construction equipment and it gets dull after the first few weeks.

The Asuka II has gone - so today all we can see is construction equpiment too.

Mind you it's the new cruise liner landing stage that's being constructed. There used to be one here in the past, and they're now building a modern version.

Currently there's a boat with a giant-sized yellow digger on it dredging the bottom of the river near to the dockside.
