Gloucester
After Bath we headed to Gloucester. We had not heard much about the city and since we needed to get to Birmingham where we were staying Thursday night, we did not have much time. While driving in Gloucester we saw a large gothic Cathedral. Taryn and I looked at each other and decided “What the heck,” we would check it out. Gloucester Cathedral was amazing! It was large..really large. It was the first cathedral we had been in in which you did not have to either "pray privately" or pay so we looked around for a long time. There was one hidden hallway on the way to the bathroom that I had found. I showed it to Taryn and it led to a circular garden. It was not until we returned home that we found out that scenes shot for Harry potter were at the Cathedral.
Here is a you tube video of the Cathedral we were in. How cool!!
Birmingham and Liverpool
From Gloucester Taryn and I had a small stopover in Birmingham at a hostel to sleep for the night. The hostel was supposedly the top voted in the UK. We were tired and while everyone else partied..we slept. Ahem, we WOULD have slept except the annoying green light on the ceiling kept us awake.
The next morning after a restless sleep we got in our car and headed to Liverpool. I have always wanted to travel to Liverpool. With the strange accents, Beatles’ history, and the incredible buildings what else could you ask more in a city? Even though we only spent around 4 hours in Liverpool..I felt a sense of the city while I was there. We visited the Beatles history museum, saw another cathedral, went to chinatown, and walked around what felt like the entire city. I loved it!
Here is a famous Scouser, liverpudlian, or if easier to understand, a man from Liverpool. John Bishop.
