I just got back from my week away in Liverpool this weekend. Had a pretty great time, absolutely exhausted by end the Friday thou, and spent most of Saturday and Sunday catching up on my sleep. The conference was good, if a bit gloomy in tone. Lots of the presentations highlighted the current mess that the oceans are in and the impact of climate change on marine life, with some bleak outlooks to the future. Not exactly new news to me, but being repeatedly told the same depressing story, albeit with varying slants, roughly ten times a day for a week slowly grinds you down. Luckily the city of Liverpool provided a much interesting and uplifting backdrop to elevate the conference gloom. I’d never been to Liverpool before, and apart from knowing that Liverpool had once been the European City of Culture, I really didn’t know what to expect, and was pleasantly surprised. I didn’t get as much time to look around the city as I would have liked, but what I did see (including a tour on the Yellow Duckmarine – see picture) really impressed, and I’ll definately have to head back at some stage to take in more of the city.
