Liverpool was my first brush with UK, way back in 2014. And in a lot of ways, remains very close to my heart.
We got down at Manchester Airport and then took a train to Liverpool Lime Street station. Organically positioned between the City Centre and Merseyside, it exudes charm and a certain amount of sanity. Especially for someone stepping on to British soil for the first time, it was gorgeously encouraging.
A year long stay was laced with business at work and some cherished moments to nearby places (in and around Liverpool). Anfield (Home to Liverpool Football Club) were our neighbours and we could hear the roar from our bedroom balcony when a goal was scored. Everton Football Club was 10 minutes away.
We got acclimatised to ‘British Breakfast’ pretty quickly as we realised it was the safe haven for vegetarians (the only option for a full meal 😃). It never disappointed us though, easily available across the vicinity, whether it was Liverpool, Chester or New Brighton.
After spending so many years in the UK, Liverpool still stands out for a sublime experience. Perhaps, another visit is due again, someday.
