In lieu of a day at the cricket we decided to visit the historic walled city of York with a detour through Leeds to try to sort out a refund on the cricket tickets.As we drove east the rain continued until we crested the dividing range when it stopped.

We stopped off at Whitby Abbey the site of an AngloSaxon abbey. When we left Durham there were a few clouds in the sky. By the time we arrived in Whitby it was wet and misty. Our first taste of true English weather We were fortunate enough to be at the abbey at the right time because when we had finished our exploration mo http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/United-Kingdom/England/North-Yorkshire/York/blog-412916.html It had to happen.The dry weather had to break.And today it hasWell actually its not that bad just a little light rain and its not going to stop us taking a road trip to York a city we have heard so much about for its style.With all the goodies we brought at the market day yesterday we could hardly not have a full English and so it wasEggsbaconblack pud etc etc.We left on the road so full we d http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/United-Kingdom/England/North-Yorkshire/York/blog-411158.html So i thought i travel blog would be a good idea rather than send annoying emails all the time you can just check the blogFor those of you that dont know i am travelling to Shanghai China on the 23rd of June.
