Hi all 👋🏻
Join me on a boat cruise over the RIVER DEE in CHESTER UK 🇬🇧
If you look closely you see the name of the boat… yep… it’s ”THE JACKIE” how cool is that 😎
Do you recognise it from my dinner out in Chester before I moved to Ireland in May post?
Here I was back in Chester for a city break of 3 nights beginning this week, when I joined hubby in the UK before we drove together to Ireland last Tuesday 😃
So sit back… have a warm drink and join me 🤓
With this post in our lovely #community this Friday I join in at #MarketFriday by

The Photographs in this post are all taken with my iPhone 📱🤓
I will follow the time stamps on them. So it looks like you are experiencing my adventures with me, to 💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻 #discover everything what I saw, like the little #details seen through my eyes of this #tour on a #boat over the #river #dee in #chester #uk 😊
So while exploring the city of Chester we saw a few times this cute boat on the river. Here while it was sunny ☀️ and docked for another day of #trips with #tourists 🤓
We were wandering around… and I knew it would rain shortly, so hubby and I looked at each other… what next?
We decided to go on the tour with the boat, so we wouldn’t get rained on 🌧️🌧️ in the next hour or so.
We normally don’t do these kind of touristy things, but thought; “why not!” 😋
After looking at the website and it being close to 1500h we couldn’t book on-line the tickets anymore as they stop running the tours at 1700h.
So we had to go to the ticket office and pay a bit more 🙃
More information you find on the following website:
Chester boat
We decided to go on a “half-hour City Cruise”
On line tickets are £ 7,65 per person
At the boat are £ 8,50 per person
The location of CHESTER BOAT you can find on the following screenshot of Google maps with the yellow star ⭐️:
Walking towards the docking area.
Passing by some interesting #architecture.
We see this beautiful footbridge, I will post about another day 😉
When we look to the left… as we were waiting for people to come off the little boat… we see:
Just before we go onboard of “THE JACKIE” I take this photograph:
We found a spot all the way in the front of the boat and this is our view.
And the cruise starts… we are moving 😎⛴️
Now we pass under the foot bridge 🌉
This is part of the building we saw in the beginning but now seen from the river all the way on the right:
The clouds are getting dark ☁️
The views in the distance are stunning 🤩
Large houses do appear, some look like castles 🏰 but are not.
I see a tower on the left along the edge of the river. Do you see it?
This tower is part of the garden from the Airbnb we are staying in.
Closer up:
Next doors house has a lot of sculptures in the garden and on the terraces. Even some rhinos 🦏 😎 awesome to say the least.
We couldn’t see those from the Airbnb.
Our room is in the small pointy tower on the right. The house in the background.
Going further… such cool #buildings we see.
Also a church… this is my favourite photo of the day 🥰
Do you see the little boat houses on the edge? So many cool details…
A little further along the river, just before we turn around ⛴️
The clouds thicken and rain will start shortly 🌧️🌧️
After turning around we see Chester and some rain 🌧️ coming down in the distance.
The following photo is rather interesting, we see some ghost 👻 houses in the clouds ☁️ hehehe 🤭 a whole street lined up perfectly on the top of that dark cloud 😉😋 I thought let’s add this artistic element 😇😎 of the reflections 🙃
Along the route… the waterfront with the houses from the other direction 😊
Soon we pass by the church again.
A curtain of rain on the left… oh those people on that little boat will get wet soon 🌧️🌧️🌧️ hope they go back to the docking area quickly 🤓
“THE JACKIE” passes them quickly…
The footbridge again, so we are almost back where we started.
We pass by the docks… to turn around in the back.
In the back we see a beautiful arched bridge 🤓
And as it turns out… we still got wet getting off the boat ⛴️ hahaha so we were going from tree 🌳 to tree… until we found cover to wait the rain shower out.
As we wanted to explore Chester further. The weather luckily cleared up shortly ☀️😁
…and here I say “that’s all for today’s post my friends”… join me next time for more #updates, #adventures, #stories and #photographs soon 😎👋🏻 Even some #artworks once in a while will come by” 🎨
Thank you so much for looking, and reading.
