West Kirby

I rode the Merseyrail to West Kirby after Friday classes with Fei Lin and Farah. I was pretty stoked to have them on this trip with me. It was a 30 minute train ride from Lime Street to this charming little town at the mouth of River Dee.

The picturesque Marine Lake and North Wales in the distance.

Gulls.

Hilbre Island during low tide. The island is a local nature reserve and is home to the Hilbre Bird Observatory. If you're not into wildlife, then you can take in the views. I imagine it'll be a nice photo opportunity. Unfortunately for us, we had to retreat halfway when we heard thunder. Also note there are specific timings and route to walk across, so check the information board at the West Kirby beach entrance. Alternatively, you can read here.

Fish and chips from Marigolds. We had planned to have lunch by the seaside before it rained, so here we are at the train station. P/S - the green stuff is peas if you're wondering.

Leaving my fleeting mark.

View from the Marine Lake.

Windsurfing and sailing is a norm here at the Marine Lake.

Lawnbowlers at Ashton Park.

Yay the sun came out! Here we are strolling around the Marine Lake border.

If this isn't cute, I don't know what is
