Monday, March 25th - a very eventful day with loads of impressions, a marathon day, do not know how we reached over everything. But we started early, and Magnus had found that our base was Starbucks in Liverpool One ... where we had our breakfast, and where we took the "night-cup" before returning to Ibis for the night.

And we left to one of my favourite pop-songs - Gerry Marsden singing You'll never walk alone - originally from a musical by Rodgers and Hammerstein. In 1992 they took the song into their club emblem, and the title is written on the famous Shankly Gates to Anfield.
