York…WOW

I visited York briefly many years ago and saw the city centre, the Minster and the Shambles. I can remember thinking at the time, WOW. Coming back again now it is all just as WOW as it was back then. Here are some of the things we saw today.

I took this using the iPhone panorama feature. Not bad.

York Minster: The largest gothic cathedral in northern Europe

Clifford’s Tower, York Castle

This pathway winds along the River Ouse and makes for a pleasant walk or ride into town. No car needed.

  Not a bad place to be stuck for 6 months! I may not want to leave…

  Not sure yet. We’re currently searching for a place to live.

Just as I remember it from when we were there in 1993 – except there was also a huge animatronics dinosaur exhibition at the museum(?), which was so realistic that we saw a couple of frightened small children reduced to tears.

But there is plenty of wonderful stuff without that.

  Daniel would it if they still had one of those at the museum. We’ll visit there at some stage.

  Gorgeous aren’t they. I love old buildings. Looking at them is free entertainment for me.
