So... We went to Liverpool. It was a beautiful sunny day. We took the train at 9h07 at Euston. It was a cool ride of 2h15, As soon as we arrived, we walked toward Albert Dock. It was sunny in Liverpool but windy and a little bit colder. On our way there was a Primark. Marie-Josée could'nt help getting in. That make her laugh because she know I wouldn't go there by myself.
We had lunch on the stairs at Liverpool One before heading to Beatles Story.
We did a very exhaustive visit of almost 2h hours in the museum. I completed live the information of the audio guide for Jane.
After the visit we have done some shopping at the boutique and we walked on the river side to search for those famous 4 lads. We saw them neat the emblematic Liver building.
We then when in what it called The Cavern Quarter, on Mathew Street. We entered in the Hard Days Night Hotel to have a quick look and we went to the Cavern. There was now a cover charge of 2.50 by adult to enter. Nothing to break the bank but it is new. There was a big crowd so we didn't had place to sit. The performer was not bad but it isn't the best I saw there. Marie-Josée was impressed thinking about all those famous stars who played in the Cavern: Queen, Oasis, The Kinks, The Who, The Rolling Stones and of course The Beatles, just to named a few. Anyway we didn't stay very long, little Jane didn't really enjoyed the place.
After the Cavern, the intention was to visit the old town a bit and see the cathedrals, but my group had foot pain and couldn't walk that much so we when shopping in stores that appeal to young people. We ended up in the most Americanized of Liverpool. There even is a Disney Store. The girls were pleased.
We ended the day with a good meal at Ask Italian.
On our way back in the train, everybody was exhausted but satisfied by this good day trip.
