(Like I said yesterday - sometimes I can link it with the title and sometimes it just doesn’t cooperate)

Day 26 - Sat. May 25

We got on the road fairly early Saturday morning driving South towards York along the coastal route.  

A castle on an island through my car window while Mr. B was whizzing us by……

We drove into Berick-upon-tweed along the North Sea and drove through this little hole in the wall…..

And found a nice place to eat breakfast/lunch and to sit outside in the sunshine and feel the salt air. Quiches & salad. Perfect. 

Our next stop was the Home of Hardy Fishing Museum in Alnwick. Guess whose pick that was?  Nope, we had to pass it by as we were both ready to get to our hotel in York. 

Pulled up around 5 and a doorman met us in full dress - plus check out those top hat topiaries!

Did I mention that the English love to put cucumber in their Gin & Tonics?  

It was interesting to do some people watching in the hotels bar “1906”….my lips are sealed….

Our room here looks out over the city walls built by the Romans & Vikings!

Hello York!
