Despite the abundance of food on a cruise ship, it's still relatively easy to get something exercise and stay in trim. There are two decks on the Queen Elizabeth that enable you to walk right round the ship, and in the case of the lower one, you are largely undercover.

A notice informs passengers that three circuits of Deck 3, are equivalent to 0.9 mile. Yesterday I quite easily accomplished 10,000 steps, and Mrs PBT's wasn't too far behind me. We've slackened off a bit today, although I'm sure that come nightfall we'll be edging towards our 10k target.

We are on holiday though, so the fitness thing is really just an aside, and at the moment we're lounging on a couple of "steamers," those most traditional of cruising deckchairs.

We're on the starboard side, looking out over the Mersey, across to Birkenhead, watching the odd vessel chug by. A brightly painted "party boat" called the Snowflake, has just passed by and we returned the waves of a boisterous, but good humoured party on board.

Our ship is due to depart Liverpool, in around three hours time, so we'll be back up on deck to watch as our floating home slips its moorings, turns around and heads off towards the mouth of the Mersey estuary, and back into the open waters of the Irish Sea.I mentioned in my previous post that it's Mrs PBT's birthday today, but we will leave the posh dinner until tomorrow, in order to experience properly tonight's departure. In the meantime, there's a few more steps to clock up, and a beer or two to be had.

No more posting now until we reach Southampton, and then it will only be a quick one. It's nice though, just to relax and savour the moment, especially after the year we've just had and the manic period at work over the past six months.So, for the time being, a fond farewell to Liverpool, even though we didn't see that much of it.
