Well, I must inform you of my most recent adventure. During this episode, your brave explorer traveled to "The Most Cultural City in Europe 2008" of Liverpool. This time, his beautiful assistant accompanied him as he delved into the lives of the city's most famous sons... The Beatles! Well, delve would NOT be the word to use. Instead... visited their city and saw one attraction would be more appropriate. But, it was very enjoyable and fulfilling. We did the "Beatles Story" museum at Albert Dock in Liverpool Merseyside. Here, we meandered through a labrynth of original Beatles instruments on a chronological journey through their lives narrated by Paul McCartney, Brian Epstein and many others. It was fabulous to say the least. I saw some original guitars... a perfect replica what the "Cavern Club" and its connecting "Matthew Street" would have looked like back in 1958 where the Beatles played over 250 times... and a authentic pair of John Lennon's glasses that he wore during the filming and recording of "Imagine". It was very very well done. I also purchased a road sign of "Penny Lane" for £4.99.... WELL worth it!
Unfortunately, we were not able to see the sites where John, Paul, George and Ringo grew up... I wanted to... but the bus tickets sold out for the tour... and, it later that night, Liverpool's finest weather pissed down on us and blew us out of our "wellies"... So, next time. But, we did have a nice pub meal and saw the town. So, it was worth it.
Now I'm back and I have laundry, cleaning, finances, e-mails, registration and an ESSAY to attend to. I bid you Adieu.
Oh, my pics this time are a bit rubbish.... save for one... you'll know... John Lennon did this in a pic in front of the Statue of Liberty....
