Chester and beyond

Our city centre mooring first thing in the morning. You wouldn't think this is mid-October, would you?

Setting off around the city walls; it's a bit windy so the girls weren't best pleased at being asked to stop for too long:
Some of the lovely (and very typical) architecture in Chester:
Betty-Ann found a cute olde-worlde sweet shop with rows and rows of lovely looking sweets:
Some of the typical two-tier shops in Chester: The girls needed to go knicker shopping so Charlie sat around photographing some other young ladies in the same department:
By a very striking clock over one of the city gates in the old wall:
Moving on north later in the day, the rain missed us but provided some great photo opportunities. Betty-Ann took this from the front of the boat:
Moored in Ellesmere Port for the night, right by the Alley Alley Ooo (Manchester Ship Canal) this view from near the boat shows an oil tanker (left) by the refinery. Betty-Ann spotted this same tanker as it passed us the following day giving us a great view of a big ship sailing on the Alley Alley Ooo.
