The rain does not end...

The entire country is nearly flooded! And we picked a bad weekend for travelling...

So last friday we decided to go to london and then saturday - monday we would hang out in the Beatles home town of Liverpool. The usually one hour trip to london was severly delayed...it ended up taking us over 8 hours to get to our hostel in london..trains were delayed and cancelled while we were one them as well as once we got into london the underground was nearly all closed due to flooding..it was madness. We made it to our hostel to find out that it actually wasnt the right one we were supposed to be going to! yeah not so good..they messed up with giving us directions. But we finally made it later that night. We found a bookstore and reserved harry potter went to the movie theatre next door which was playing really old movies well movies that are already out of the theatre in america. and we saw oceans 13 to pass the time. Then we got Harry Potter! woohoo..

The hostel was miserable we slept in our clothes because it was too much of a hassle to rummage through our stuff when we would be leaving there in 5 hours anyways. Saturday morning we head to liverpool we were actually lucky and the trip by train to liverpool only took us 3 hours!..When we got there it was raining and would continue to do so the entire weekend. But that didnt stop us! On saturday we went to the Beatles Story which basically showed the history of the beatles, with original and recreations of the yellow submarine, the cavern, mathew street, John & yoko's white room, the plane they flew on to america, and so much more. The next day we went on the magical mystery tour and visited all the Beatles' old houses and sites that were relevant to their lives and lyrics. That was a ton of fun and we would have never been able to see any of it on our own because of the rain..

Here are some of the pics!
