BLOGMAS: Day One, Liverpool

Have I ever told you how much I dislike trains? No? Well they are not my best friend.

I took a last minute trip to Liverpool to visit my friend at university. The train tickets were pretty hefty at £34.00 return with a rail-card! The trip was just over two hours each way with changes(aaaah!) 

I pretty much experienced a whistle-stop tour of Liverpool and was feeling completely and utterly drained after the short 24 hour trip. Nonetheless, it was a nice change of scenery!

I arrived in Liverpool, in the darkness, at around 21:00 feeling confused and lethargic. After some much needed food, I fell straight to sleep! The next day came with a much awaited lie in and a trip into the main area of Liverpool for some shopping. 

I would love to show you my haul from Liverpool but unfortunately there was no chance of shopping and browsing the Christmas aisles.  Even though Liverpool felt lovely and christmassy, the hoards of people said the opposite; the city was exceptionally busy! The cobbled pavements were bustling with shoppers, musicians and more shoppers (Oh and the occasionally weird looking mickey mouse)

The shops in Liverpool looked absolutely immense and I'd love to visit again so I could experience a relaxed shopping atmosphere! However, it wasn't all negative! Liverpool looked absolutely stunning dressed in twinkling lights and decorations; I felt the excitement of Christmas absorb me in all its glory.
