    Liverpool 2nd day

    September 18, 2019 in England ⋅ ⛅ 14 °C

    Up and breakfast (pretty much the same as most days - maybe I don’t need to repeat that every day 🙄). Spent the day on the Liverpool docks - now done up for sightseeing. Went through the Beatles museum - for anyone a great experience, for a Beatles fan, just fab(4)ulous. Had lunch then through the maritime museum. Had a section on the sinking of the Lusitania and also a section on the Titanic. Liverpool had been heavily involved in the slave trade and there was a very large area devoted to that. Very sorry piece of history- it does make you think. After there we went for a visit to the London Museum that had a large exhibition on John Lennon, particularly after the Beatles. Liverpool really does use its Beatle’s history to its advantage and it draws tens of thousands every year. The city should be paying them millions of pounds a year !!!! After the museum we visited the Beatles statues (too much Beatles is not enough 😛). You could easily spend 4-5 days here.

    Tomorrow off to Edinburgh.
