York on Wednesday

On the Wednesday, Emily and I set out to do some sightseeing in York. Alison had brought us into town but then had shopping to do while we continued with the tourist bit!

We chose to do a York Sightseeing trip on the open top bus. We sat upstairs near the back hoping to get a decent view as we went round.

York Minster The roof tops from the top of the bus

There is a wall that can be seen around the city of York dating way back.

The Golden Fleece pub and looking down one of the main streets

There is also a river around the city. This is one of the bridges that crosses it.

An old water mill

Part of the wall. I love the York stone that was used.

The station clock

Boats on the River Ouze

(The red and white one is like the one we went on on Thursday)

We think this was one of the ghost tour groups with the guide (in black) at the front.

After our sightseeing, we met up with Ali again and headed home. We enjoyed a quiet evening at the house and Rob decided a braai was preferable to the omlettes we had been going to have ;o)

Thanks Rob, it was delicious!
