Liverpool on foot with the girls!

Friday 16th July when we ‘hopped-off’ the open top tour bus …
click on any of the pictures for a better view!

Liverpool Anglican Cathedral … unfortunately and disappointingly closed to visitors as it was being used for the university’s graduation ceremony.

Opposite the Anglican Cathedral stand these absolutely beautiful buildings but no matter how hard I’ve tried I can’t find anything out about them - if you know what they are ... I would love to know!

Whilst waiting to get on another tour bust we walked down Duke Street to China Town …
… where the street signs are in English and Chinese ...
… and there are lions and lovelys!
 Hopped off the bus once more at Mathew Street where the girls met a very young John! ...
... by the wall of fame ...
… opposite The Cavern … home to those 4 young men!
 As it used to be a long time ago - I wish I could have been one of those lucky girls!
Instead these lucky girls got to see it today!

 The Cavern today is further underground today than the original was but ...
 … it was fantastic!  The atmosphere, the noise, the colours, the music were great.  Joanne absolutely loved all of it!  Me? I had a lump in my throat just being there!

The Beatles look out over the street at The Hard Day’s Night Hotel in the centre of Liverpool
I wonder how many shoppers realise that the site of Liverpool's Old Dock is at the entrance to the Liverpool One shopping area and is laid out to resemble what the old dock area was all about ...



 …and what two beautiful girls are all about too!
A view from the steps at the entrance of Liverpool’s Maritime museum - isn’t it amazing!!?
