Now on to Liverpool:
On the bus down from Liverpool to London now, catching up with emails and such. Been a grand time out here with old friends, Amy and Stu, two of my flatmates in New Zealand. They've got a sweet flat just north of the city in the countryside. Made for a nice run through the English countryside. Must be the good English weather, but I hung with Stu and Allen and powered those legs through, checking out the British houses in the area and the fields.
Liverpool, where the Beatles got started, is a pretty sweet town. Lots going on, with some great buildings. The Liver building is definitely one of the cooler buildings in Europe, with the Liver Bird on top, crowning the city with it's name. Two main cathedrals in town, one called the Metropolitan which is definitely that. The other is the Anglican which is more medieval and yet has been turned into more of an event space.
Cobble stones all over, plenty of proper pubs and old buildings around. Fun times! Even took the ferry across the River Mersey for the view of the skyline. The Beatles are all over town, with loads of statues of places named after them. We checked out the bar where they first started playing at, and popped into the Beatles Story gift shop for some fun photos of the lads when they were younger.
Here are a few pictures from the time in Liverpool.
