My £21.95 budget room two days previously seemed like a distant memory as we checked into the upmarket Radisson Blu on the outskirts of the city centre. the birthday crowd had all come up the previous night so we decided to go for a walk to get our bearings before meeting up with them. Not far from the Albert Docks something caught our eye..
We had enjoyed our visit to a boat that had been converted into a bar during our time in Bristol so it was all aboard for the two of us at the start of our Liverpool adventure..
Unfortunately the quality of the Liverpool bar boat didn't match its Bristolian equivalent. There was no draught beer so I had to settle for a can of John Smith's smooth out of a plastic pint glass and Shelley faired even worse, her choice was either a can of Magner's pear cider (which she isn't keen on) or a can of Kopperberg berry cider (which she is even less keen on). Is apple cider a rarity these days?!! To be honest though it didn't matter, this able seaman was happy to be taking the weight off his sea legs enjoying a birthday beer whilst on his hols, okay it was a long weekend but you get my point !!
Don't I look the part decked out in my birthday suit of a new coat, tee shirt, trousers and boots?!! Thanks Shelley !!
Blues, on the back of an eight nil defeat, were away at Wolves and news came through that we'd kept a clean sheet !! The nil nil result felt like a win. It was like all my birthdays had come at once !!
We received the call that we were waiting for, we were meeting the gang in legendary (I'd even go as far as to say 'world famous') venue The Cavern. We didn't know the way and hadn't got a map. It called for a song...
Roll up, roll up for the mystery tour....
