Our hotel is an easy 10 minute walk from the train station. This may be my favourite B&B/hotel ever. It is on one side of a very narrow road and the other side is the old medieval wall. There is a gap in the wall with a gate and the view from our room is through the gap which frames York Minster Cathedral(The Minster). The ceiling is maybe seven feet high with the original 300 year old beams. The bed is old and high. If there was a ceiling fan we would not be able to sit up in bed.
We dropped our bags and headed out to check out the city. The first stop was Betty's. This is the absolute ultimate place for Cream Tea. My arteries may explode but it would be so worth it. It is very posh but if you are going to do a cream tea you must do it propper.
We wandered about a bit and ended up at the Minster. Tickets for admission are good for a year so we headed in for a quick peak. This is without a doubt the most impressive building that I have ever been in.
We headed back to our hotel to get ready for supper. I stopped in the bar to try out the local ale (my mission). Debbie joined me and we headed in for supper. I was craving beef so I had a good steak but Debbie had the roast pork and said that it was the best that she had ever had.
We were exhausted and crashed shortly after supper. I did take another picture of The Minster all lit up from our window.
What an amazing city.
