Day 5 York 24/6/15

Another great day…. 

In the morning mum and dad went for a walk to pick up the hire car.  We then escaped the busy London traffic to  go to York via Cambridge.

 A great day for a punt ride down the Cam river. The punt took us down past the different collages of Cambridge University then into the town where we departed and had lunch before catching the bus back to our car at park and ride. Park and ride is a system they have to reduce cars in the city, you park away from town in a big park then catch a bus in. 

 One of the the many bridges along the Cam river was called the Cam-bridge!!! 

  
Another bridge they called the bridge of sighs after a bridge in Venice as a joke as they have the student bedrooms on one side and the exam halls on the other! 

 We finally reached York! This is the York Minster, the heart shaped stone work in the window is called the heart of York. 

 Classic York street!

We had a lovely dinner at a pub called “A hole in the wall”. After dinner we went back to our hotel room at the tippedy-top of the Burton Stone Inn!

 This is where we stayed.

  1. Loved the photo of Mum and Dad and yourselves of course, as usual all looks fantastic. I have a funny feeling I either went to lunch or dinner at the same Pub, I could be wrong. I did quite like York. It is great reading you Blog. By the way it reached 7deg here today, so enjoy. LOL Nan and Bella. xxxx

  2. It looked like a lovely day for a punt. Bec was absolutely green with jealousy that you got to do the Hogwarts thing! York looks majestic and quaint – must put it on the ‘to do’ list. This blog will be a great planning tool for us. Keep up the great work (and fun). My biggest trip these hols could be a trip to Blackburn and the Packing Shed in Tyabb, but holidays are still a good thing.
