Wilko's World on Wednesday.

So statistically more people read my Wednesday piece last week than usually read the Tuesday doodle…. Fascinating crap!! No I have no idea either whether it was because Wednesday’s bit was concise, true, well written and so much more interesting or whether more people discovered it or more people read things on a Wednesday than on a Tuesday!

Anyway thank you, for reading as well but thank you for the statistics at least it filled up the first paragraph on this Wednesday’s Wilko Weirdness!

Liverpool welcomes back the cruise ships for what looks to be the busiest season ever, it’s great to have you visit and spend your money and I for one am as sure as one can ever be that you will enjoy what you find in our wonderful city and make the most amazing  memories here……. Oh and come back soon!! So welcome among others Thomson and MSC as newbies to the ‘Liverpool cruise club.’

Next time you come we will have that magnificent building on the waterfront, one of the ‘Three Graces’, part of the World Heritage Waterfront, the former head office of the one and only Cunard line as the most lavish of cruise terminals. This is fantastic news, the building is spectacular inside and is set to become a huge tourist attraction in its own right. Travel experts agree that the building could do for cruises what Grand Central station in New York city did for train travel.

2015 sees the 175^th Anniversary of the shipping line and it is scheduled to see the three Royal beauties in the port together. Also 2015 will be the first time that cruises to Canada are being offered from Liverpool since the 1970’s.

How wonderfully ironic is it that the founder of Cunard, Samuel Cunard was in fact from Nova Scotia, Canada and the official address of the old headquarters and new cruise terminal will be Canada Boulevard!!

Before I finish two more touches of irony in the fascinating field of travel.

The place to get the cheapest Eurostar train fares to Paris is a website called Cheapflights! But that’s not all the cheapest flights at the moment on the same website, incidentally, London Heathrow to Los Angeles is with, wait for it…… test your geography time….. Air New Zealand! 

A lottery win this week of course would see me on a cruise from Liverpool next year, a Eurostar ticket or two to Paris and beyond and of course a round trip ticket with Air New Zealand to LAX. By the way it may come as no surprise to regular readers that there are two airports on my bucket list! That surely is not normal is it? Hands up anybody else that has airports on their list…… See told you, not normal!!!!

Failing that all important lottery win I’ll be back next week, who knows maybe even Thursday….. Ha ha!! 

Incidentally as you might imagine my Pictures of the Week over >>>Here<<< are not weekly either but don't let it stop you seeing them!!
