After last night, it probably goes without saying that today did not get off to an early start. However we were still up and out the door by 9:30 – no rest for the wicked! There was even time for a very tasty breakfast.

Today we had the ‘Magical Mystery Tour’ organised by someone in the fan club so there was at least a bunch of us that new each other. It was, of course, a Beatles-themed tour

It was really interesting, taking through as number of Beatles-important sites like where some of them had lived, where they practised, where they gained their inspiration. They let us all off the bus a number of times to get some photos. The tour guide was hilarious, and he’s met Paul McCartney which is kinda cool. Well worth it for a fun trip and bit of Beatle-y education in the mix. It must be a real pain living in some of these houses though, with tourists coming by every 30 minutes to take pictures!

The tour finished in the middle of Liverpool, and for lunch we decided to sample one of those great British dining instructions: Greggs 😀 I can see why they’re so popular though, their sausage rolls are fantastic!

After lunch we had no pressing commitments til the evening, so back to the hotel so I could catch up on my blogging homework and Perry could get a preparatory snooze in for the night ahead. As of right now (4pm) the weather’s looking pretty grim, so this might be a new kind soaked-through-to-the-skin Eurovision experience (as you’re not allowed to bring umbrellas) – ah well guess we’ll see – what an exciting cliffhanger to end on 😀

I know I will be too worn out to write up the show just after we see it, so again I’ll leave that to the next day. Let’s hope I have good news about Australia making it though to the Grand Final! I’ll just leave you with this very important advice:
