Gobsmacked in York

---

Di and I also managed a day-trip to York. Having visited the amazing York Minister (with the great Rose Window celebrating the end of the War of the Roses between the House of Lancaster and House of York), the York Minster Crypt, the Jorvik Museum on the site of an archaeological dig and bringing to life the original Viking City, another archaeological museum, the local markets and the striking Clifford Castle our day was fast disappearing. We opted to check out the National Railway Museum getting there only an hour before it was due to close, and missing some great exhibits including the Flying Scotsman. Still there was much else to see, and I hope to get back there some day. Actually, York certainly deserved much more time than we were able to give it. I also left my digital camera back in Gateshead, so had few usable pictures from the disposable I had to buy!
