What a lovely city - some very splendid buildings. The docks are lovely.
We saw Shen Yun last night - what a fabulous show. It was a riot of colour with superb music from the orchestra and some dazzling special effects. I'm so glad I went to see it.
Only been to Liverpool twice.
Second time was about 10 yrs ago and enjoyed the docks and museums etc and yes it is a lovely city.
First time I really didn't see much as I was in Walton prison...
Much preferred the second time ;-)
They're incredible, Vagus. The Liverpudlians must be very proud of their city.
We stayed at the Titanic Hotel and there's a huge disused tobacco warehouse opposite which I believe is the subject of a forthcoming multi-million pound redevelopment. It's going to be awesome around there.
I guess your first experience is one you wouldn't want to repeat then, Nailit. ;-)
We're going back in June for 2 nights so we'll get to do the Beatles Tour. It's only fair we do something the OH likes next time...

Too right LCG. Full of tattooed, violent, skinhead thugs. I just don't know where the prison service in Liverpool recruits its staff from? ;-)
I did a bit of shopping yesterday (forgot to pack heels) and yes, there's so much there. We had a nice light lunch and a bit of a walk around. I can see why it appeals to so many.
My daughter lives there and absolutely loves it. She did some of her medical training at St Thomas Hospital and despite being a Welsh speaking girl from a relatively rural area fell in love with the place and even commutes for 30mins every day so as to remain there. She loves the "scousers" but is fairly quick witted and incisive when she has the mind to be. I can recommend 2 places to eat having been to both but you will need to book.
