Visit Liverpool – Easter Holiday

Continued from the previous post*. Volunteering was just part of our plan in Liverpool but visit this well known city was our main motive :P. We arrived at the Lime Street Train Station after 2 hours ride on VIRGIN Train. The train was fast haha. forget about the train – not the main subject of this post:P.  The first destination we visited was the Albert Dock 

, a place of World Heritage with a waterfront setting. The reason why I chose this place as my starting point of my Liverpool exploration was due to what they have there in Albert Dock. Starting from the Pump House, a popular cafe, Tate Liverpool – full of arts, Merseyside Maritime Museum – there is Titanic model in it with its story, International Slavery museum – where I learned most of the slaves and where about they came from. You can find The YellowDuckMarine making its SPLASHDOWN in Salthouse Dock  which is a very unique experience in Liverpool. Of course the must see place is the legendary Rock band – THE BEATLES

. We didn’t went into The Beatles Story cause it was GBP12.95 per-entry. Not worthy since I am not a big fan of The Beatles.

Ha ha. A part from Albert Dock, we (Wee Seng and I) went to have a look at the Walker Art Gallery (free) – Here we could see human sculpture and also special artist exhibition from time to time. We also managed to get into the World Museum Liverpool around half past four in the afternoon. Unfortunately the museum was closing in 15 minutes time. So we managed to run up into the EGYPT mummies exhibition to get some pictures with the MUMMIES!! Scary HUH…  It was about 6.00pm and we checked in to International Inn. This place is quite cosy and cheap to stay. Very suitable for backpackers or cheapskate like me:P The day didn’t stop right there but after having dinner with one of  Wee Seng’s ex-classmate in one of the cheap restaurant (every place is cheap) we went to see the famous sign board – THE PENNY LANE. Ha ha. it is just right in front of her hall anyway. No big deal for her :D And that was for the first day. Interesting huh!  There’ll be another post on the last day of our visit in Liverpool.
