Day 56 3/8/12

Today I got to explore more of Liverpool with my group. We first got on the coach bus for a mini tour (which of course I fell asleep through). I got to see Penny lane, the memorial for the Trafford and then we were dropped off in the city area. We broke up into our groups mine being Amy and Krista. When we got dropped off we decided that we would first go see where the tunnels were that a man named (William Harrison I think is his name) created for whatever unknown reasons. While we were on the way a problem had occurred one of the girls had become hungry. It ended up that me and the other girl who just wanted to go straight to the tunnels had to go find a cheap place to eat or we were going to be snapped at all day. Personally I dont take being snapped at well especially when I am pmsing+ tired. So, for the fact that I was being calm about it even though I was getting furious is a huge accomplishment for me. We found this little bakery type of place. I would have preferred to go to a pub after the tunnels just to get more of a feel for Liverpool but problems would have erupted if we waited. After we ate we went to go eat we headed off to the tunnels. It was a great tour even though we could not go through many of the tunnels due to it not being safe or still being worked on and stuff like that. After the tunnels it took about 30 minutes for us to walk back to the Albert Dock. When we got there we went to Costa to get some coffee and a snack. We did some of our surveying homework which was good. Then we went into the Beatles museum! It was amazing and I learned so much about them. I'm not the number one Beatles fan but they are pretty huge in the music world. It was a great museum and then we went to the museum gift shop and I got some nice little gifts. Then we went to this art museum but it was about to close. We did get to take home a piece of art that they offer for free. Its basically to circles connected. It was interesting. The meaning was sweet with spreading the love but it looked like the two circle graphs which I cannot think of the name right now. Then we (Amy, Krista and myself) went to Pizza Express and got some food for takeaway. We ate it on a bench by the water then headed back to the hostel to head back on the bus. It was about 6 hours to get back I think.... It was nice to be able to sleep in my own bed again.
