A good day to take the ferry. The wind was blowy and the sea choppy enough to make the MV Snowdrop heave and sway and for us land lubbers to experience the illusion of sea-legs once back on dry land. We like a bit of weather, we do.
We had a rummage around New Brighton's junk shops.
Wind-whipped, we warmed up on hot, fresh-fried calamari from Docklands Fish and Chips at Albert Dock and perused the Maritime Museum till closing time.
We explored the Rope Walks and popped into Bon Bon Bakery in Berry Street to purchase buns for breakfast as we planned an early start. The fresh-baked lotus seed "pineapple" bun and red bean bun did not disappoint, the fillings were neither too dry or too cloying. We ♥ their Hong Kong-style mango pudding with fresh cubed mango stirred through it.
We hunkered back indoors to warm up and watched Mike Leigh's 'Mr Turner' at FACT - JMWT's 'Boat and Red Buoy in a Choppy Sea' resonated. We supped at new restaurant on Bold St, Mowgli. It was buzzing, we stopped by some time after 9pm and were 8th in queue for a table. Sorry no pics as we were too busy relishing our delicious veggie school tiffin, gunpowder chicken and Aunty's prawn curry feast.
