Self Drive in UK : The Beatles Story in Liverpool

Self Drive in UK : The Beatles Story in Liverpool

How far from London to Liverpool?  It is about 4 hours, 220 miles.  But our origin is Warwick, about 2.5 hour.  Saw some modern windmill along the highway to Liverpool.  I find them very pretty sit on the plain.

Modern Wind Turbine Liverpool

We stopped by a rest area, they called it “service” in UK after driving for an hour and a half.  They have the ‘drive through’ Starbuck if you don’t want to get down from your car.

We needed a break so ordered some hot coffee and used the bathrooms in the rest area.  Most toilets are free in UK, unlike in western and eastern Europe, the toilet fees are quite high, about Euro 1-2 dollars per entry.

Highway in Liverpool

Beside football what do you have in Liverpool?  Yes, the Beatles!

Again, finding a car park is one of the challenging task.  Luckily there are plenty of open air car park located opposite of the Beatles Museum.

Fees showing on the board, decide how many hours you are going to spend here and then Park and Display!  Again, machines only accept coins.

Whether you are a fan or not, lets come in and enjoy a journey with me to discover the Beatles culture, music and their lives.

Beatles Story in Liverpool

Once you bought your ticket, you are given to an audio to listen to the details story of the Beatles.  Started with their childhood, the guitars or other music instrument they once used.

Beatles Story in Liverpool

Above is John Lennon when he was a teen.  He actually started playing banjo at the age of 11, his mom taught him.  Then he bought his first guitar at the age of 16.  Guitar is cooler 🙂

Casbah Coffee Club Liverpool

You also get to see the place they played before getting famous, the setting for Casbah Coffee Club.

This museum has a unique setting with many original collected items that are very precious I believe, to bring you back to Beatles time.

This museum has the largest permanent exhibition purely devoted to the lives and times of the Beatles.  This museum  truly give the best insight of the Beatles life.  Fan or not, while in Liverpool, don’t miss this location.

I believe these are some of the old pieces which has made a hit back in the 60s-70s.

Admission for The Beatles Story :

  • Adult : GBP 15.9
  • Children under 5-15 : GBP 9.50

This is actually a historical place where you can see many kind of ships, new and old park at the marina.  Some ships are opened to public to hop in to take a look but little fees need to pay for entrance.

Glad I came to pay a visit at Liverpool to feel their maritime heritage!

Cuban Lunch : Revolución de Cuba Liverpool

Liverpool Albert Dock

This is a pub restaurant which offer Cuban food.  We sat outside thinking it was a nice weather but the wind was still quite chilly.  Also someone from the next table smoked cigarettes which troubled me a bit.  Anyway what we ordered were really tasty but portion was quite small.  Very satisfied with the good Cuban Food at Albert Dock.

What to pump in gas station – Diesel for our car.  Most cars in UK used Diesel we were told.

Passed by a second hand car dealer, found cars sold at super cheap price.  GBP 2-3 k can get you a usable car.  How nice.
