Visited York with the Stevenage girls last wkend. It's a horrendous 4hrs train ride EACH way!
Glad I went anyway.. york was reli pretty =) It's apparently one of the oldest cities in UK.. and was once populated by the Vikings.
The streets of York had a kind of nice Victorian vibe to it..quaint shophouses lining pebbled/bricked pedestrian footpaths..
everywhere was bustling with life and activity, loads of shops and bakeries as well! hoho. It's any shopaholic (or glutton's) dream come true =)
The famous Yorkshire Fat Rascals! (it is a kind of scone i think.. with loads of fruits in it.) - FABULOUS!!
and buttery scones!!
HUGE fluffy furry white polar bear! ( i mean dog) - compare its size with the ladies. it. is. HUGE.
Btw, the dogs here are all GIGANTIC!! we saw a black dog and all of us mistook it for a bear!! so not exaggerating. think they're all prepared for winter..
Pianist right smack in the middle of nowhere
They had a few teddy bear, Peter Rabbit, Paddington shops as well..
and MIFFY!! - took this for you =)
visited Jorvik Viking Centre (about Vikings who used to live there many hundred yrs ago), the York Minster and York Castle Museum..
Majestic York Minster (we climbed all the way up! no spectacular views though.. juz a mass of roof tops if you ask me)
York Castle Museum was awesome! they had this street that was reconstructed just like the way it used to be in the Victorian times.. complete with Victorian shops and stuff. As you walked thru the streets.. daylight will soon give way to nightfall... and there was simulated rain as well.. reli impressive.
Here're the remains of castle walls surrounding the York City Centre.. kinda like the mini version of Great Wall of China. =P
ooh. lastly.. the Yorkshire terrier =)
~gone in a moment..
