Hello!

LIVERPOOL

           I will present you my travel to Liverpool. Liverpool is located in the North West part of England, it’s a very old city which was founded in the thirteenth century. The city was designated European capital of Culture in 2008. This English City is famous for its pop culture thanks to the Beatles and for its historical heritage. Nowadays, Liverpool is the second English harbour. The docks are famous and beautiful. I went to Liverpool from Lancaster by train, it’s very easy.

As I said it before, Liverpool is famous thanks to the Beatles where the band has known its first success. As you can see on the picture below, there are the cavern club and the cavern pub which are dedicated to the band. You can also see the wall of fame.

Liverpool is very beautiful city, full of charm and history. Indeed, there is a lot of museum, the architecture is original, the docks offer an amazing view and we can do shopping! Liverpool can please everybody thanks to its diversity. I spent a lot of time in Liverpool with my friends first and after with my family. It permitted me to visit all the city and to discover lots of things. Here some pictures of my journey…

See you!

Morecambe and Blackpool

Hi everybody!

In the following articles I will present you the different travels I have done during my Erasmus semester.

During my Erasmus semester I have visited several cities. First of all, I will present you two of them: Morecambe and Blackpool.

Morecambe is very close to Lancaster, we can go there by bike, by train… It’s very fast! Morecambe is a seaside resort of the city of Lancaster in Lancashire. The city is located in Morecambe Bay and there are approximately 45 000 inhabitants.

Morecambe is a beautiful bay where we can observe the sea and the sunset. When I went there with my friends, the weather was not very sunny and it was very windy. However, even if the city is small and even if there is not a lot of things to do, the sea view is worth a look!

Blackpool is a coastal city located in the northwest of England. It takes 40 minutes to go there by train. There are 142 100 inhabitants in Blackpool.

Blackpool is a seaside resort where we also can observe the sea and the sunset. The beach is very beautiful and it’s very pleasant to go for a walk along the seaside. In Blackpool I went to a burlesque show. It was a very fun experience!
