Wales Day 4

Today I had a quick breakfast then went to the local hairdresser for a much needed haircut.  Feeling like a new woman I was ready for the day ahead.

We headed to Liverpool but not unfortunately on the ferry across the Mersey as today there is a cruise ship in so the ferry isn't running.  Instead we went under the Mersey on the underground.

We first went to the Cavern Club which opened its doors to the public in January 1957, and now stands as ‘the most famous club in the world’.   This title is due to the role played by the club in the Beatles’ rise to fame although the story does not end there. The list of past performers such as The Kinks, Queen, Elton John, The Rolling Stones, Hendrix, The Who, Oasis, Travis and Arctic Monkeys to name but a few.

We then headed to the gallery's and museums as the weather was cold and windy. We went to the Tate Gallery and the Maritime Museum which are at the Albert Dock.  We stopped for lunch at the dock and enjoyed some very yummy hamburgers.

The weather seems to have gotten colder and windyer but we battle on and visit the Metropolitan Cathedral which is nick named Paddy's Spaceship.  This Cathedral does just look like a spaceship and the inside is like no other church you have ever been in. It really is a impressive building but it has had much trouble over the years with upkeep due to the design.

We stopped at the museum on the way back to the train just to get some relief from the cold wind and then headed back to Wales on the underground.

We took Jean and Bob out for dinner to thank them for a great few days to a great Indian restaurant in Wrexham called the Anise and the vindaloo was really good and hot.

Off to Manchester tomorrow to see Celia, Lisa and Jon.
