Our Day Trip to York - Continued

As Geo left it to me to tell the story of the rest of the day, let me first start of with some before and after York Minster pictures:

This is us before we climbed 275 step to the top of the tower (please note how happy Geo looks, it is because he didn't realise, yet, that we are not taking the elevator XD)

This is us on top, it was certainly worth the climb! But wow was it windy.. my hair was a mess the rest of the day...

So after the Minster we started our hunt for food. You ask why hunt? Well... by the time we climbed back down from the tower it was close to 2pm and seemingly everyone in town was having lunch as we had to try 3 different restaurants until we finally found one with "only" a 20 minute wait. Well, that turned out to be even longer as after 20 minutes we had gotten a table, to then hear that it would be another 30 minutes until we could be served food... - well, satisfied with being seated in the warmth and access to WiFi, we stayed. And it was worth it! Best Mushroom soup I had had in a while.

All warmed up and filled with energy, we decided to take a walk along the river. From there we carried on along the York city wall, stopping at the old tower ruins. There were loads of grazing geese (I was really excited).

We finished the trip by eating an amazing Crepe while waiting for our bus back.

It was a good day, and while it was very windy (and totally destroyed my hair) we got really lucky with the weather. With many deadlines coming up and my dodgeball competitions starting, I doubt you will hear from us until Christmas. But we have a Dubai trip to look forward to!

Our Day Trip to York

We're Back~~~

Sorta. We've been busy in our own ways, Ksen working on her driving skills, me just working on breathing. All is good and we hope to continue to write on this blog more often. Sorta.

Quick update, I have moved into my new place and have started my 2nd year in uni and Ksen has done the same. Nothing too special has happened, just life got the best of us and we couldn't find good topics for this blog but with Ksen's reading week here we decided to go on an adventure~

York Here We Come/Went(?)

On the miserable UK morning, we hustled our sleepy selves to the Leeds Bus Station. 

As we decided to take the ZAP bus (6 pounds there and back) we had to make it to the station in just under 40 mins, so with haste we grabbed our gear (myself the beautiful OM-10 and Ksen the 700D) and dashed through the foggy depths of Leeds.

Apparently Ksen isn't a morning person anymore

Lo and behold we made it on time. 

This got us on a bus ride to York with a bunch of grannies. 

They were pretty chill and soon became our apparatus of identifying where we had to get off. 

Arrival and Our 1st Mission of the Day

As Ksen was feeling slightly under the weather, our first mission, although slightly too British for my taste, was to find a warm cup of tea.

The camera isn't too nice to me either

This one cup of tea got Ksen back to a travel ready human body so off we set off to our first destination....the York Minster.

But before that, we went through this really nice alley (York is basically a blob of nice alleys) on the way, which got us thinking..... why are there so many Harry Potter things here? oh and a doggo.

Woah..these people are dedictate

Come live me with doggo ditch your owner

After about 1 to 15 minutes of walking we finally arrive at the York Minster!

And that was it for the morning. Part 2 will be coming with Ksen's inputs yay
