 Day 27 - May 26

Good Morning!

We discovered a great, casual breakfast place this morning just across the bridge from our hotel - “Brews & Brownies” perfect for coffee & pastries or breakfast sandwiches.  

Once we were energized, we walked around York and admired the Roman/Viking walls, Minster Cathedral and then headed towards “The Shambles”.  

The Shambles is a historic street in York with cobblestones, medieval buildings (some going back to the 1400’s), timber framing and overhanging shops. 

We even ran into a fire tosser…..

An absolute zoo  but a fun, fascinating place. After getting totally turned around, we found the Cathedral and stood in line for tickets. After about 10 minutes we decided to come back on Tuesday as it would be open all day instead of the 2 hours it’s opened on Sundays. 

A sweet nibble, cold drink & a rest for our legs we were invigorated to walking back to the hotel to relax.  Checking out restaurants for dinner tonight with the concierge who suggested we try Guy Falks pub just a few blocks up from our hotel. It was fully booked for tonight but they always leave a few openings for walk-ins. Well we got in but not in the pub proper. We were outside with heat lamps & an overhead covering. But it was Sunday Roast day!  I had delicious roast chicken with Yorkshire pudding and Mr. B enjoyed a Steak pie with mash.  We walked home in the company of many others outside enjoying the night air. 

Just wait until you see where we go tomorrow!
