Jour 4

Another fabulous day!

I woke up early, got ready and took the train at King Cross for York. I am glad I made my reservation in advance; the actually rate was 3X what I paid. I choose the quiet train and it was very quiet. It was totally silencious. It took 2 hours to get to York. First thing I did in York was to take the wrong way for the Minster and I end up on the city walls. Very dangerous! Because there ain't gardrail all the way. I wasn't feeling safe so I walked slowly.

I visit the Minster, that is the largest medieval gothic cathedral in Northern Europe. I took the verger tour to be well informed but I didn't understood alot: the guide was having a scottish accent. (You know what I mean Chantal ?) Anyway, it was an interesting visit.

After the visit, I've been at the famous Betty Tea room for lunch. Oh! WOW!! So stylisness! I had a fancy egg sandwich with cresson salad and a cup a tea. I took a scone to take out. (collation before I return to London). After lunch I walk around all those little alleys in the city center. I was very careful because I didn't want to get lost and miss the train for London. Well, York is a beautiful medieval city and I regret I was there only for half a day. I would enjoyed more walking around the alleys if I had more time. Maybe a next time ? (I see some of you rolling eyes)

(On this picture, you can see tourists and locals; I am sure you can tell which are they.)

For supper tonight I decide to go out and have a fisn and chip. It was delicious. And for dessert, I had a phone call from Marcel. What a nice way to end the day! Thank you darling! ;-)
