Somersby Guesthouse Liverpool

... Then woke up a few times to the sound of one of them snoring heavily. As you can imagaine, I wasn't the most polite of people to them in the morning.
I woke up early and got my obligatory map from the hostel. I decided to walk to what is known as Albert Dock. According to the map, it's a UNESCO World Heritage Site. I never really figured out why but they had some neat buildings around the basins. The Beatles Story Museum was down ...

... for The Presets to start. Just before they came on some fellow Australian popped up beside me (he was from Syders) so we became drunken best of mates, fueded about State of Origin, argued about what venue was better for Big Day Out, amped ourselves up fro Nevereverland and then sang/screamed along to The Presets. They were ****in class too. But my outfit had one extra suprise up its trampy sleeve. When the lads started to play 'This Boys in Love' I ...

... dragging myself out of bed let alone trekking the streets of London. Bron and I did manage to fit in a solid chunk at the Tower of London which was very cool. If you are a history geek like me, you would also be impressed, it was pretty surreal seeing traitor's gate, the crown jewels, the place where so many royals had had their heads chopped off... but if history isn't your thing, well maybe you'd find it pretty boring! I dunno, I liked it. We also squeezed in St ...

... City of Culture 2008, the birthplace of The Beatles, the (ex) largest port in England, and the home of one of the best football clubs in the world. What it is not famous for however, is its hostels. "Why should it be?" I hear you ask, "What city is?" "Fair point." I reply, but I think it should be, merely because it is home to one of the most bizarre in existence. Enter the Embassie Youth Hostel, our second option after we found that the International Inn was full. The ...

Hello! just woke up from an afternoon nap so am feeling quite lethargic. Today we had a really good day, we woke up the earliest we have in probably the whole time we have been in London. I had my alarm set for 8am (woah, too early) and we were aiming to be out of the house as close to 10am as possible cos we had planned to go on a walking tour that was meeting near Hyde Park at 11am. We got there right on time and there was a ...

... our goodbyes to Bambam and Leila who were catching an earlier ferry. Our ferry wasn't until later that night but we managed to get an earlier one despite a few hardcore questions from passport control (Cy looked dodgy, I think it was the long hair). They also took my tan off me because apparently it's an illegal product in the UK - it has to come out of a bottle. So, before you could say 'do ya know what I mean, yeah' we were back in the UK. We drove back to ...

... was the first royal carriage that was ever built, and you can see how it was designed after a stagecoach. King Georges carriages were very opulent, with lots of hardwood paneling and fancy fabrics used in the decor. The carriage that the current Queen used was in contrast, very simple, as it was used during and after the war. It was kept very simple, so as not to attract attention from the Germans as it would have been considered a very important ...

... happened. It was pretty crazy at Picadillz circus, police everywhere and the tube station closed. I spent a few hours wandering around, ventured down to the Thames for some photo's, and then headed home to get ready for the big night of Scottish dancing... If you know anyone who is Scottish, you know they are pretty proud of their traditions. Even if, like they say in Trainspotting; they are "the scum of the earth ...

... be coming round the mountain" or yes Steve, quite possibly after a few beers singing Bob Dylan ;-) "I'm gonna travel the world that's what i'm gonna do...then come back and see yooooo!" Question for my guests - i'm thinking about doing a thread or a theme for my journal and photgrapohic log. Maybe you could suggest some ideas. I was thinking food or possibly hats. I'd be more than happy to hear your ideas. Before I next write...why not fly a kite? (oh my god that's profound)
