Liverpool

31st July – 1st August

This weekend we went away to Liverpoool, home of the Beatles. We headed away with Kristen and Jeff. Kristen could get some cheap tickets for the trains through her work so we all took the chance to go up there.

While in Liverpool we did a 3 hrs black cab tour of all the places now made famous by the Beatles. We definitely got our moneys worth and our knowledge banks full of Beatles information. We saw the houses and even the hospital where John Lennon was born! There is a lot of these spots still on the tourist route although they have changed function over the years.

We spent our Saturday night out at the Cavern night club (where the Beatles first performed) leaving in the wee hours to find the masses of stag and hens doos surrounding us as we left! It is definitely a place for these kind of parties as the trash was out that night.

Sunday we had a bit of a lay in, a walk back to the shops for a look around. A nice lunch and a choose your own milkshake where we could add in anything we wanted. Think coldrock of the milkshake world. Kieran was in Heaven.
