The fourth day in United Kingdom

My second day in Liverpool I spend with Karl and Liz. We met up for a breakfast at Starbucks. The weather was much better than yesterdays; the sun was shining through some clouds that was on the blue sky. When we sat new awake in the shining sun with our huge Café Latte’s in our hands, with our sunglasses on and were wrapped in some blankets we felt lukewarm winds blowing us in our faces, that moment we decided what we should do during the day. We decided that we first of all should go to the childhood homes of John Lennon and Paul McCartney (Beatles) because we all are fans of The Beatles, and so we did! It was a combined escorted tour of Mendips and 20 Forthlin Road, which is everyone’s only opportunity to see where the Beatles met, composed and rehearsed many of their earliest songs. It was an interesting tour and I really enjoyed it, because it really is the only opportunity for a person to be in their old homes, so it was pretty special experience for me Karl and Liz. To visit the childhood home costs me 200 SEK. We had packed my rented car full of different kind of food and candy so we could explore the city how much we wanted the whole day. 

 The next stop became St. George’s Hall. St George’s Hall is a big building, which contains concerts and law courts. St. George’s Hall is in the middle of Liverpool at Lime Street. On the west side of the building there is St. John’s Garden, where we sat down in the grass and had picnic. While we were eating our delicious lunch we decided that the next stop we would be The Merseyside Maritime Museum. It’s a museum that tells the history of one of the world's greatest ports. Discover Liverpool's central role in centuries at sea as the gateway to the new world, how the Titanic, Lusitania and Empress of Ireland tragedies affected the city and the country provided a lifeline in times of war and peace. The museum is located at The Albert Dock. Since we had done so much during the day we decided that should cool it down but still make it as an adventure. And now after, I can tell you we really did. We drove and drove my rented car, but we had no idea where we were or where we should go, so we just kept on driving. We took some stops on the way; during the stops we made a lot of different experiences. The best of them was when we stopped at a restaurant and we ordered in two hamburgers for each one of us, we decided to have a competition; the competition was to eat up the hamburgers fastest. Karl won. Another funny competition we arranged was to stand by the road and having your thumb up for a sign that means ‘’needs ride’’, the competition was to see which one of us who made the most car stop. Liz won that competition. While we kept on driving we saw a classic movie motel, so we couldn’t help ourselves while we checked in. In the motel room for three persons we watched Friends with a lot of candy in our hands. And that was basically what we did the entire evening. But I had to win a competition as well, right? So I arranged a competition too, to win you had to scream out the right name of the company during the advertise pauses. And I actually won, I’m proud over my obsession of watching TV. The whole day has been lovely, and now the clock is saying 2 o’clock and we are ready for bed! I’m sure that I will sleep well this night; to be spending so much time with those interesting and funny people can’t make me happier! 

Now when I’m about to say good night to them, I also tell you good night! Sleep well, and you will see a now blog post up tomorrow night, as usual! Lots of love!
