Manchester, England

We made it! We arrived on Saturday, Oct.23 at 11:06 am. The airplane said what time it was when we landed...
Once we we got to what was our home for the next two days (thank you Steve!) we fell asleep for a few hours. Neither of us really slept on the plane. After we woke up we decided to go walk around outside in search of a computer store and a drug store. We had success in the drug store search, but found out the computer store was "in town" and we'd have to take a bus to get there. We decided against this idea because we would have had no idea what bus to take to get back home, since neither of us thought to write down our address or even what street we were living on. We later found out that town was an hour long bus ride away.
That evening we researched flights to Venice, Italy. We found one leaving from Liverpool on Tuesday. So we get to spend a night in Liverpool tomorrow :) Yes dad, The Beatles! Janaya I will take lots of pictures for you.
Today, we slept in until 2:30 in the afternoon. We were stunned. 14 hours of sleep! We were convinced Grae would wake up early since he has an internal clock set to wake up at 7 every morning. I guess it's still there because that's what time it would have been at home right? We're going to be awake for a long time tonight. We're having a Lord of the Rings marathon (we watched the first one last night). Everything is too far away for us to go out and have a night life.
Next time you hear from us we'll be somewhere in Italy! Hope everyone is doing well.

  1. Graeme - there's a great pub across he street from the Cavern (where the Beatles stated playing) You guys should go down and check it out.....lots of great shops and bistros there. Kalia - the Liverpool cathedral is enormous and beautiful - largest in England.
