Liverpool - Post No 2 .... of many

The Metropolitan Cathedral is a beautiful modern building, we had some fun trying to find our way in from the bus stop but eventually we made it.

There are four bells in the unusual bell tower outside, supposed to represent the Gospel Writers but Liverpudlian wit comes through and, apparently, locals know them as Paul, John, George and Ringo!



The inside is amazing, so much glass - not just stained but plain giving the whole building a light yet spiritual feel.




The central tower consists of glass panels and, when the sun shines, it really comes alive!



We walked round, looking inside several side chapels and found that everywhere was richly adorned with modern art in various forms.  I don't know whether I enjoyed it all, I kept saying that's different most of the time, but the Stations of the Cross, made out of metal, really had me thinking .... I still don't know whether I like them or not ...

We found our way round to the cafe and stopped for a sandwich and tea, really attractive place but service was not the best - wondered if the staff actually knew what they were doing - but the food was good and as we were getting ready to leave it started to fill up with customers.  The bus brought us back to the Albert Dock and the next part of our 'adventure'!
