A Magical Mystery Tour

Could you guess where I have just visited from the title of this blog entry?  What if I had said that I had been on a Yellow Submarine, or that it was a Hard Days Night?

You guessed right...I went to Liverpool last weekend!  I had a brilliant time - what a fab city (a Fab Four city?!)  OK...I will leave the Beatles references alone now - although I did go to a famous street called Matthew Street and saw where the famous quartet started.  I don't know much about the Beatles, being quite a young little bear, but people tell me they are famous. There certainly was a lot of stuff around the city about them, so people must really like them.



This is a picture of me at Albert Dock, which used to be where things like cotton and tea were once stored, although now it is a tourist attraction with lots of shops, museums and places to eat.  I went there to visit the Tate Art Gallery, which is a gallery of modern art.



It is a really interesting gallery - with lots of different types of modern art in it.  I am not sure I really understood all of the art there - some of it was very strange like this piece by an artist called Salvador Dali.

Even though I didn't understand all the pieces of art there, I still enjoyed looking at them and trying to work out what they were supposed to be about.

Later on I took a look around the rest of the city, which has got some really really big buildings in it.  This is a picture of me in front of the Liver Building.  The bird on the top of the clock tower is called a Liver Bird.  I had to look up what a Liver Bird was, because I had never heard of one.  Apparently they are mythical birds that look after the city, and if they ever fly away the city will disappear!

I hope that never happens because I think that Liverpool is a nice city, and one that I would like to go back to again.
