York. May 19

Today we returned to York Minster to have a look at the Under Croft, which turned out to be a mini museum under the Minster. There were cut aways showing where a previous Roman building had stood, and lots of old artefacts from a range of eras after the Romans. We didn’t expect there to be such an extensive museum under the old minster, and were very pleased we came back to see it.

After finishing at the museum, we decided it was definitely snack time, so returned to our old friend, the Fudge Kitchen and ate it in the sun in the main square. 

For lunch we found a little building with a Moroccan food street vendor, and had a lovely lunch in the unexpected sun.

We walked back through the town and walked along the ramparts between two gates, the last being the one that lead out to our hotel. We didn’t expect this part of the town to be so beautiful, the wall had incredible views of the minster, and the grass growing up along the walls made for a beautiful view. Ash was also very concerned about falling off into this grass, as being very high up (it wasn’t) it should have had railings.

What if i fall!?

But it's so scary mum!

Once we got back to our part of town, we got ourselves some tickets to see Pitch Perfect 2 (it was cheap Tuesday!!), and were glad we did because when we got out, everything was truly soaked from the rain that had previously been holding off for us. It had eased by then, so we walked back into town for dinner and then headed home afterwards to pack for our next move!
