Liverpool

George Harrison's childhood home
Paul McCartney's childhood homeRingo Starr's childhood home
John Lennon's childhood home
Today we took the very winding road through Snowdonia National Park in Wales and over the border to Liverpool, England.

The main purpose of visiting Liverpool was to explore the home town of one of our favourite bands - the Beatles! We started off the day with the 'Magical Mystery Tour,' where we traveled around in a vintage bus and visited the homes and schools of the Beatles, Strawberry Fields, Penny Lane, and the famous Cavern Club where the Beatles played 292 shows!

We were both surprised at how lovely the city was, and how green it is! The tour guide said it had the most green space of all the cities in the UK (outside of London)! The shopping seems brilliant, there are so many amazing old buildings (a lot of Greek and Roman style architecture) and a lovely waterside precinct full of restaurants and bars, and of course Beatles memorabillia!

After a long day, we found a great English pub and had a HUGE sunday roast - delicious! Now we are resting our very tired legs for another big day tomorrow in York!

Goodnight!
