special trip in UK : From Liverpool to Salisbury
         
  Recently we had a great chance to go to United Kingdom for a few weeks.Starting from New Castle upon Tyne, we made a trip in loop down
  through Windermere,Liverpool, Bath, Salisbury, Cardiff ,London and finally back to New Castle upon Tyne again. The nice pics from this
  trip will be presented page by page till completed.
 
 *****************
  The total km. distance from Windermere to Salisbury is so far that may waste us one full day just on travelling. To make the Journey more
  comfortably, we decide to break the distance in Liverpool.
   
  Developed from a small fishing village 800 years ago, It became one of the most popular incoming port where different commodities were
  traded, including the slaves. During the highest rise of the Great Britain, Liverpool was the 2nd most important trading port after London.
  Nowaday, the city is well known as the old residence of the famous 'the Beatle',as well as the home of the world class 'Liverpool football
  team' under the motto 'you will never walk alone'. Its rich history is yet preserved. Many warehouses at the Albert dock were transformed
  to museums for those who are curious about different phases of development of the big Liverpool city. Many buildings there are now
  preserved by the Unesco as the world heritages.
   
  Salisbury farer down to the Southwest of England is quite a compact city which still maintains its traditional Englishlike. Starting from the
  wool trade during the mid age, it became the fashion place for the elite class during 1500. Now, it is known domestically for its traditional
  fabric and well maintained city layout. Internationally, however, people seem to look over this classic city to the more popular 'Stonehenge'
  in its neighborhood just because of the assumed pride of 'the 7th wonder of the world'
