It's been a lovely few days here in Lancaster recently! No rain and sunny skies, I can't complain!
This past weekend, a few friends and I went to the City of Liverpool (about an hour drive from Lancaster) on Saturday and experienced the International Beatleweek festival that was hosted there. For any Beatles fans out there, the group started in Liverpool! It was also a great chance to explore a different city and experience the culture.
Once we arrived, my friends and I went to a restaurant called "Leaf" which we had heard serves an amazing breakfast. After eating there and ordering the eggs benedict, I would definitely recommend it! We then walked along the streets, stopping at vintage clothing stores and looking at what they had to offer. I found a hilarious pink 80's tuxedo shirt and convinced my friend to buy it for a laugh!
After shopping around a bit, we decided to check out International Beatleweek. Once we arrived, we found The Cavern Club which is where the Beatles first performed and started their career. After learning this, we had to check it out! Upon entering, we went down three flights of stairs until we finally reached the entrance. To say the place was crowded is an understatement! Despite it being only 1:30, tons of people were inside listening to bands on the two available stages as well as drinking a pint of beer. We immediately joined in and listened to the various acts! One group that we watched perform even dressed like the Beatles. Looking around, I also saw that many famous acts had performed there such as Adele in 2011!
After listening to a few bands, we went back into the city and walked around the harbor side. Before getting on the bus, we also explored the Beatles merchandise shop and I purchased a postcard of the famous picture of the Beatles on Abbey Road in London as a keepsake to remember the amazing time I had in Liverpool. :)
Until next time!
