York

I didn't get that many images at York. I arrived in York at 4pm on Friday 24th October but by the we had a little wonder around and had some dinner it was time to go the hotel, and we did spend a little bit of time in York on Saturday but didn't get that many photos because York seems to be consistently busy.
                         I do like York and I would definitely go back there and probably live there after one days visit. However, one day is not enough to explore such a lovely city. I did find York quite confusing to get around, and it seemed that you will always walk down the same streets but you would 5 other streets so you would probably miss the shortcuts and the places that you want to go. But I might probably think this because it was a new place and I didn't get chance to see most of it.

The Image was taken on the bridge around the corner from Clifford's Tower.



York minster is such a impressive piece of architecture (I don't think that my photos did it any favours). The photos were taken the Friday night that we was in York, the next day we went back to York minster because my nan wanted to see it in the daylight and she wanted to inside as well. We didn't go inside York minster in the end because there was quite a long queue (we was on a time limit so to say)  and we thought that we had to pay get into York minster when they normally ask for donations inside. I don't think that cathedrals should charge people to go into building, I know that they are old buildings and that money is needed to help preserve the building and to keep it going but people will always give to cathedrals, when we went to the St Giles Cathedral in Edinburgh there was donation boxes around and there was quite a lot of money in them and you had to donate £2 to take photos plus a little gift shop section. Mentioning gift shops we did go into the York minster gift shop, I would like to apologise for the rubbish story that I am going to tell you now but it does make me chuckle.  All day in York I was looking for a lighter that said York on it (because I am weird and collect lighters, pens and pencils but they all will be used so not a complete waste of time and money) but we couldn't find one anywhere. Whilst in the York minster gift shop my mother turned to me and said "you might get a York lighter in here" and I think my response was "so condemn the smokers but ere have a light". Anyways here are my photo of York Minster.


I like to that sub-consciously that I didn't take that many photos and the quality of them is rubbish because I want to go back in the near future to do some more exploring, and while I'm up that way to go and see the angel of the North. I did see the Angel of the North but it was like, there it is, and a minute later, there it goes. So to summarise, No photos/rubbish photos = a reason to go back up North.
