We woke up early since we have to drive get to Liverpool before noon to return the rental car. We went down for breakfast at 8:30 AM an was ready to leave 1 hour later. Leaving at 9:30 AM should be plenty of time to arrive in Liverpool before noon since we should only have a 2 hour drive. However, as luck has it, there seems to be an accident and Google maps is saying we will arrive right at noon. With other unexpected things, plus we need to get gas now and top up before returning the car, things look bleak. All we can do is just go, so that is what we did.
When we got to the traffic jam, things seemed to be clearing up some. We were stuck in traffic for about 20 minutes and somehow managed to pull into the rental car place around 11:45 AM. We returned the car, but had nowhere to go until 3 PM since that is when we can check into our hotel. I remembered that when we were here last time we went to a place that had pretty good food and a very good beer list, so we headed there. It was about a 25 minute walk.
Head of Steam was a good choice. We sat in a nice large booth that let us sore all our bags without them being in the way. We had lunch and a couple of pints and before we knew it, it was 3 PM and we could check into our hotel.
The hotel was just a 5 minute walk. We checked in and thought we would relax for a while and then go back out, however, we never left the hotel room. Tomorrow we have a train to catch to London. The train isn't until 11 AM, but since it is an international trip we thought we should show up at 9:30 AM.. Not too bad, especially since we are in for the night at 3 PM.
