Our last full day in Liverpool. Sigh !
In the morning we went to visit the Bluecoat Gallery where we saw the exhibition All Together Now, a collection of portraits chronicling the people who populate the Bluecoat for almost 20 years, by Blue Room artist Veronica Watson.
We briefly visit other rooms and we had lunch in the cafe of the gallery. The garden of the cafe was all in bloom.
After lunch, we went to the train station to take the train to South Parkway, where our tour began. It was the National Trust Childhood home tour. We went to visit the childhood house of John Lennon and Paul McCartney. Many tours offer to see the outside but to have the opportunity to enter the house we have to go with the National trust. It's only natural that the Beatles are a national treasure in Liverpool!
It was the highlight of our visit to Liverpool. It was so moving to be in these houses where they lived. That's what makes them so real. Before they were famous, they had a life. The guides in both houses were very well informed. We could noticed how simple was there life before the clash of the Beatlemania.
We came back at the end of the afternoon for a short rest before apero at the Hard Days Night hotel.
We talk about how this passion for the Beatles is something we shared since so long. Our friendship grew with our love for the Beatles. We shared every moment of this trip with all the intensity and the emotion it deserve. It's a great joy in our lives. We realize how lucky we are to experience this together.
Leaving the Hard days Night Hotel, we went for supper at Cote, a french brasserie, we can see all over many cities in the UK. A very nice way to end this part of this aventure.
On our way back we stopped to have a last look at Mathew Street. That is were I had a special thought to Chantal. She knows...
