Another day is in the books. Why do people start blog posts with cliches? That’s incredibly boring and far too easy.

Today’s agenda during our stay in Liverpool was devoted to the town’s Beatles sights.
We kicked off and ended our day by wandering through the Cavern Quarter. Specifically, Mathew Street, where the Fab Four played nearly 300 gigs in a at the world famous Cavern Club.
Read more about our time there in Kari’s post.
We also took the two hour Magical Mystery Tour bus ride through the city and suburbs where the band grew up, met and became superstars.
We saw Penny Lane, Strawberry Field and the childhood homes of all the boys.
The driver was really comical and informative. Turns out he even played a role in that NBC movie about the band from a while back. Sometimes on tours like this, you feel like a bunch of boring filler is tossed in. Our guide, however, had a nonstop flow of really interesting tidbits and commentary.
It was a fun time. We’ve got to get up and drive on the left for the first time tomorrow.
Color me nervous.
But, before I go, a promise fulfilled for my good friend and fellow Beatlemaniac Gabby:
TOTAL STEPS 14,857
TOTAL MILES WALKED 5.86
Al, you are the absolute best. I’m bragging about this all over the place!
