Liverpool: Beatles Tour & Albert Docks

Saturday, May 25th

Since my group and I will be spending all next week in London and Barcelona, we decided to take it easy and stay in Liverpool this weekend. Today, we decided that we would take part in the popular Beatles Tour. The tour was around three hours long and was amazing! I'm not a Beatles fan, but the history and sites were all so neat. Check out some photos of the tour below:

George Harrison's boyhood home.
St. Peter's Hall ~ Where John Lennon and
Paul McCartney met for the first time.
The beautiful church that John Lennon
attended as a choir boy.

Strawberry Field
The huge and stunning cathedral where Paul
auditioned to be a choir boy. Sadly, he failed.

Today we spent the day at Albert Docks. Locals were celebrating the 70th anniversary of the Battle of the Atlantic, so it was quite busy. There were Navy ships and sailors from all over the world - it was quite the sight to see. After walking around the docks and viewing the boats, we decided to visit the museum right off the docks. We were attracted to look around because of the advertised Titanic exhibit. The museum was great and interesting! For the Titanic exhibit, guests were able to take the card of someone who was actually on the ship to see if you lived or died - similar to the Holocaust museum in Washington, DC.

Neat building right off the Docks.

Other than that, school has been keeping me busy! Sorry I haven't blogged in a while. Stay tuned for my adventures in London and Barcelona!
