Hey! You've Got to Hide Your Love Away...

Today we visited Liverpool! It was about an hours drive from the house, and a shopping central. Everything here is much more expensive. In name brand stores, the prices are the same number, however, the BGP is larger than the USD. We got a laugh out of Hollister and Lego prices (there was totally a Lego store in Liverpool!).
We took a quick Liverpool Museum tour (did you know Liverpool was the first shipyard to send boats all the way to trade with China from England?), watched a 3D movie about the Beatles and headed off to find The Cavern, where the famous four first played, and visited some 167 times later.

 

The club was in a basement and there was a live musician there, covering Beatles' songs beautifully on his acoustic.

 

Danny and I grabbed a Guinness and a Cider and sat down with Pat and Miles for a drink and some good music. All the bricks lining the club had been signed by probably thousands of devouts, but unfortunately, we couldn't find any markers :(

Spending the day with the Beatles was pretty awesome.

Tomorrow, we shove off to Newcastle. Unfortunately, it's a five hour bus ride, but it was a hell of a lot cheaper than the train. Once we're there, we'll take a tour of the brewery (Stefan!!!) and settle down in a private room hostel.
