Giant Spectacular - Meeting Xolo


Our day with the Giant's started with an early mornng train ride to Liverpool. Once there we walked down to the river, and found a good spot on the barriers near the entrance to the Albert Dock. We could hear the music from the nearby King's Dock, letting us know that the Little Girl Giant and Xolo her dog had woken up. As the crowd grew, we could see the first of the puppets emerge from the Dock, and begin their trip along the Strand.


First to come along was Xolo, the Little Giant Girls Dog.
Benjamin was delighted that the first thing we saw Xolo do was wee all over the road!

 


He was even more excited when Xolo headed over towards us.

 



 He came right over to the barriers, for some of the children to pat him....


....before heading away....



.... giving us the chance to admire the inticate controls and the operators the "lilliputians."
