Liverpool

Last Saturday, Luke, Zach, and I set off for Liverpool bright and early in the morning from Bath. It's about a 4 hour train ride from Bath to Liverpool so we had to get up early in order to make the most of our day in Liverpool. We got there around 11:00 and our three goals for the day in no particular order were: See the Beatles attractions, try to go to the Liverpool match, and walk around Alberts dock. We decided to do the Beatles portion first, so we visited the Cavern Club where they first started off (for those of you who don't know, the Beatles are from Liverpool and grew up there). I'm not particularly a huge Beatles fan, but it was still cool to check out the small underground (literally) venue that they started out at. Since then, loads of big names have played there purely because of the history behind it. They had a wall outside the Cavern Club that had names of everyone who had performed there on the bricks of the building, so it was cool seeing all the big names who have been there as well. After that we walked to Alberts dock where there was a few things going on and I assume on a pretty summer day would be packed with people, but unfortunately it's November in England so the streets aren't always packed. We then started walking towards Anfield (the stadium where Liverpool play) in hopes of finding a ticket from someone outside the stadium. We walked around for a bit and we were about to give up when we found a guy selling but the price was too high. We didn't get to go to the match, but I still enjoyed seeing such a famous stadium with my own eyes. Overall, Liverpool was a cool city and I definetly suggest it if one has time to spare in 
England. Until next time.
