My Last Day in Liverpool

My last day in Liverpool was really great. I started it off by finally going to the Cavern Club, made famous by the Beatles. The Beatles is why everyone knows the Cavern, but there have been tons of amazing artists that have played there. The Who, Adele, and the Rolling Stones to name a few. Needless to say, I was really excited to see this famous club and be surrounded by rock history. I took way too many pictures and not enough at the same time. If any of you have ever been around me when I'm in a Hard Rock or any place that has a lot of rock memorabilia then you know how long I take. Literally looking at everything and trying to memorize any facts I come across.

As I stood in the Cavern, I was just so overwhelmed by it's awesomeness. Pictures, artifacts and signatures lined the walls. Sadly though, this Cavern Club is not the original. The original had to be torn down and this one is in it's place. However, it is a pretty exact replica. So there's that. Being in the same place and listening to music as some of the greats is truly amazing for a music lover. I had no idea that Adele sang at the Cavern as well. Of course I was so excited to find that out since she's my favorite living artist. There were so many artifacts that I wanted to buy but I refrained. Personally I think it's an accomplishment that I only spent 7pounds in a place I loved so much!

Across the street from the Cavern Club is the Cavern Pub. That's where all the bands and artists have bricks on the wall. The bricks are on the outside so you don't have to pay to see them, which is really nice. I found Jimi Hendrix's brick and Adele's. Loved the fact that they were really close together! Made my life easier to find my two favorite artists. Shout out to Dad, I found a lot of artists that we both like and took pictures of their bricks. Mom, I found at least one of your artists as well. Ali, I tried for a good 15 min to try and find the Red Hots but couldn't for the life of me find their brick. I even had strangers helping me! Sorry dear.

After the Cavern I decided to take advantage of a very rare sunny day. Walking around Liverpool when the sun is actually shining is a wonderful experience! The city comes alive with life and warmth. Figuratively speaking on the warmth though. I enjoyed taking pictures that I can't usually take without sun.

Heading back to the house, I got ready for a night at the Bierkeller for the Uke Hunters' gig. That's the ukulele band Danny is in. The gig was actually the semi-finals for a music competition. The ukes went last and by far did the best of all 5 bands. They had the other bands standing up and cheering/ dancing along. They made it into the finals with ease. We were all really happy for them and went out to celebrate afterward. It was such a good day ended with a splendid night.

Waking up this morning was really sad since I had to pack up everything and leave Liverpool. Tears were shed and that's all I'm saying about that. Kim and Leah took me out to Costa coffee for a send off, which was so sweet of them! Thank you very much ladies, loved it! Laura hasn't been feeling well so she couldn't join us for that little jaunt. I won't be back during this trip, but I do love that city and I want to return soon! Now I've got tons of friends in Liverpool so returning shouldn't be a problem at all. If any of you Liverpool friends are reading this, come visit me too!

All in all, Liverpool has been an absolutely amazing experience for me! Not what everyone describes it as. Usually when you say Liverpool, people get a slightly disgusted look on their face. I honestly don't know why. Thank you everyone for making my time in Liverpool exceptionally special! Special thanks to Danny, Kim, Leah, and Laura!
