Day 9- Wigan (Northeast of Liverpool)























































We will try to keep this one a little shorter but we haven't written for a couple days, got to many exciting things to tell you! Sunday we left Deb's and headed to liverpool for a couple of nights. The hostel that we ended up staying in seemed to be pretty nice. Huge, clean bathroom! We ended up sharing the room with one guy from Paris, seemed to be nice but really didn't spend much time in the room, had to many sights to see. Sunday night we explored the city. Our favorite part was the night life. We went to a place called the Cavern Club. It was a large bar where the Beattles used to play when they were just starting off! There was live music, mostly Beattles because there was a Beattles music festival going on.

The next morning got up to head the Northern Wales. No exact destination picked out. We ended up going up to Holyhead, which is located on the Northwest most tip of Wales. Even the train ride was beautiful getting there. Part of it went through the country but a lot of it was through the hills and along the Northern Wales coast. When we got there we were not sure if we got off at the right place but after about an hour of exploring we came to the place that we were hoping to come across. There was a trail that went along the coast, it looked like it went on for miles, we only walkd the first 4 miles. Too many blisters! And a long train ride back.

This morning we are leaving England and heading to Edinburgh, Scotland. We have heard it is also beautiful up there. Have a place in a hostel reserved, we heard it is really busy up there right now because of a music festival that is going on!
