Neither of us had been to Liverpool, and we had earmarked it a somewhere to see while travelling to some walking spots in the north of England. Really all we knew of it was that The Beatles had begun their musical journey there in the late 1950s.
What a pleasant surprise we had. We loved this city, and really didn't allow enough time there. There certainly are endless memorials to The Beatles, but there is so much more there. The city has done a great job of evolving as a modern city, but retaining a lot of its Victorian-era buildings.
Next time you come to England, make time to see the city on the Mersey. We've earmarked it for longer visit sometime in the future.

Thanks for the recommendation. I wouldn’t have looked to visit this part of the world in the ordinary course of a holiday to the UK. Liverpudlians have quite a reputation for being real characters. Did you get close enough to the locals to get any sense of whether the reputation is well earned?
We probably didn’t get close enough to see that side of the Liverpudlian character, but everyone was friendly. I had a colleague a few years back who was from Liverpool, and he was great fun.
