Yesterday was my very last nightstop in Liverpool. Our airline stops flying to this wonderful destination, and I will miss it BIGTIME! {I would like a moment to cry quietly in a corner}. From all the destinations in the U.K., Liverpool was by far my favorite. I'm not bothered to nightstop in other U.K. destinations, but I truly loved Liverpool. So I am actually sad that we're not flying there anymore. And because of that, I had to enjoy my last stop to the fullest. I spend the complete day outside. First I went out on my own for some quality time {e.g.: shopping}. After that, I went out with the first officer to see the cultural parts of Liverpool: we walked around in Albert's dock, in the city itself and payed a visit during daytime to the Cavern Club. There was live music and it was so much fun. As a lovely ending of the day we had diner at Jamie Oliver's italian restaurant. Oh nomnomnom.
What I loved about Liverpool? The vibe: our hotel is located in the harbor and has a beautiful view over the canal and the arena. We just have to cross the street to go to the shopping area of Liverpool, which is also pretty amazing if you ask me. Plenty of shops to visit: Zara, Mango, Gap, Primark, Topshop, Dorothy perkins etc etc. The city is HUGE! And besides that, you can have a lovely breakfast, lunch or diner in one of the many restaurants. My all time favorite is Jamie Oliver's italian restaurant, and we had a lovely late lunch/early diner over there. I had the fried mushrooms as a starter and the tagliatella bolognese as a main course. Loved it! And if you're not interested in shopping, don't hesitate to pay a visit to the Cavern Club, the cradle of British pop music and the place where the Beatles musical identitiy was formed. And the cavern is not the only place you need to visit if you're a Beatles fan: What do you think about Strawberry Fields, Penny Lane or you can just do the complete beatles tour.
And more reasons to visit Liverpool: it was the cultural capital of 2008. They made a major development and the city is nowadays so beautiful to see. You can have an amazing cultural day over there and include some quality shopping time. At night, the city is also full of life and has a major nightlive scene.
Buh baay liverpool. Was nice meeting ya.

Hope you all have a great week. As we speak, I'm in Liverpool, shopping and enjoying the beautiful city. I'll be back tomorrow. I took these pictures a couple of days ago, and I get so excited that the temperatures are rising! I don't think I'm a winter person, haha. It might be a strange combination: ballerina flats with a knitted jumper, but I must say: the jumper isn't really warm so it was a comfortable combination, perfect for this weather.
Oh, and like my hair? Check out the tutorial! The link is just below the pictures. My mint jeans are actually a little bit big for me. I bought it in a size 8, last size available, while I usually am a size 4. Maybe I try to wash it really hot, hopefully that will help :)
Remember my first post about my trip to Venice? At that time, we went by foot. And a couple of days ago, we rented a boat, to see the city from a different point of view. And some good news: the boat wasn't really expensive: 25 euro's for an hour, and we were with the 4 of us. So do some calculating yourself and see: it's cheap!
Venice is such an amazing city! Italy sure is one of my favorite places to go to, and I'm always happy to see Bologna or Venice on my roster. Unfortunately, we only fly and nightstop in Venice during the winter season. Which makes this destination also hard to request, since everybody wants to go to Venice. But I got lucky, twice! And this time was just as special as my previous time. And again, the sun was shining all day.
On my pictures you can see the famous San Marco square, the rialto bridge and some typical italian sights. I love Italy: the food, the people, the weather, everything!
I shot these pictures with my Canon EOS 1000D 50mm f1.8 lens and my panasonic lumix pocket camera
See, the snow dissapeared! I can feel spring is around the corner, thank Goodness! Temperatures are going up, the smell outside seems to be different and the first flowers are showing up.
Anyway, I had an amazing time in Venice, can't wait to show you the pictures {still need to resize them}. And at this moment I'm packing my suitcase for my very last trip to Liverpool {Our airline compnay will not do this route anymore as from the summer season}. I've got a lot of time to spend over there, so if you have some definitely MUST-SEE's {restaurants, shops, whatever} let me know!
And besides that I'm really busy moving out of my place in Haarlem. Going back to my mum's house, for a little while to save some money. My own place was lovely, but too small to share with my roommate and too expensive. I'm actually quite pleased to go back: I've got so much more space!
