To go to the Irish west coast, one day later after arrival aswell!
Ah thank you. So, Liverpool is boring, and the only thing to watch is a museum that is probably closed after my arrival very late in the afternoon? No pretty buildings and bridges then to walk around or over or through, to admire?

what, no. he would never fly to games, think it was because of his parents dieing in a plane crash but i'm not 100% sure.
He had some kind of bad experience while with Holland, and wouldn't fly anymore after it.
Just looked it up, and here's the wiki...
Aviophobia
Dennis Bergkamp is well known for having a disabling fear of flying, which developed after the Dutch squad were involved in an incident concerning their aircraft during the 1994 FIFA World Cup in the United States.[11] The Dutch squad travelled together with a group of journalists, one of whom made remarks about the long waiting time, wondering if there was a bomb on the plane. This provoked a panic amongst passengers and in particular Bergkamp. This incident reminded Bergkamp of a plane crash which killed many Surinamese-Dutch players when they flew to Suriname. Ever since, Bergkamp has had a dislike of flying. This gave rise to the nickname the non-Flying Dutchman, a variation on The Flying Dutchman. He was thus often unable to play for Arsenal outside of England. He would, if required, take a train or drive there himself. The tiring nature of such long journeys to Europe forced him to miss domestic matches around European away games.

I can decide where to go and how long to stay before I stroll along to somewhere else. And my time in Liverpool is so short, just one evening. So if I can decide all on my own how and what, I'd like to know my options before hand.

Is there some site where one can easily plan their route from and to a specific location with public transport? Like the Dutch website www.9292ov.nl (journeyplanner.9292.nl for English).
I would like to know for Liverpool at what times I can take which bus from (or close by) my hotel to the ferry docks, how much time it will take approximately, and where I do need to transfer to another bus, et cetera.
