18 April 2010
After visiting the Liverpool Museum, we went to the Merseyside Maritime Museum located at Albert Dock. Admission is free of charge.
The museum has four floors of fascinating galleries that explored Liverpool´s maritime legacy. Particularly interesting were the exhibits on Titanic and the navy during the Second World War and the Slavery Museum. We stayed till 5 pm closing time.

We found our way to Mathew Street where the Cavern is located. The original Cavern had been demolished so we were visiting the rebuilt Cavern Club.
Mathew Street - Birthplace of the Beatles.
We saw the Cavern Pub which looks like the entrance to the Cavern we saw at the Beatles Museum.
The sign that says it all.
Then we went down a flight of steps, into the Cavern Club.
Stairs leading to the underground Cavern Club.

Stage performance at the Cavern.
The Cavern Club was quite similar to what we saw at the Beatles Story Museum, except no Beatles music now.
At the end of Mathew Street, more Beatles tributes could be found.

We turned a corner and came to Cafe Sports, England, located on Stanley Street. This is a family restaurant owned by Liverpool FC’s Jamie Carragher.
Daniel had read about this restaurant in Carra’s biography book and we had talked about visiting his cafe when we are at Liverpool. It was hence strange that we had somehow stumbled upon his restaurant.
This cafe seemed to have the most numbers of flat screen TVs in a restaurant. Every table by the wall had a TV on the side, showing soccer clips.
It was a good place for our dinner. Good service and good food.
