Liverpool is not as big as you think it would be. We didn't have any plans so we got off the ship and decided to do the HOHO bus tour. It takes about an hour so we just did the whole tour and then came back to the beginning and got off at Matthews St. to search for the Cavern and buy some Beatles souvenirs. We then went to Albert Dock to do the Beatles Story. We got there around 6:00 p.m. and the girl at the front said it would take about an hour. They give you a free audio head set to listen to throughout the tour. There were a few people behind us as well. We got to about number 30 on the audio part which was as far as the Yellow Submarine was when the workers at the end said they are closing at 7:00p.m. and we had to stop and turn our headsets in. There were about 10 people left and the gift shops was all ready closed. Wow...wished they would of told us that at the beginning. So we missed the end of the tour. There really was no one to complain to but there is Trip Advisor for when I get home. Then we found a pub called "the Pig and Whistle" which wasn't crowded at all and when we asked the girl for a good recommendation she poured 3 beers for us to choose from like a taste testing session. We laughed and talked to her and another regular that came in. I hope they don't get too tired of us saying.."What?"
