York

Yesterday Kelsey, Bernice, Elizabeth, Kathleen, a bunch of other people and I went to York for the day.
It was quite a sight to see, York is really old and has a lot of history. When we got there we went on a two hour walking tour which was very educational and fun. We looked at walls that were built during the 1200's, minsters, abbeys, and other buildings that have been around since the Roman empire. It was neat to see how parts of the city are still have trenches where war men hid during battles.
After the tour we went to the stardome to learn about how the Vikings navigated their way through the see using the stars. It was interesting but we mostly learned about the constellations which I still enjoyed because I love stars.
After the stardome our group broke away for lunch, everyone wanted to go to this 1 pound sandwhich shop and well I can't eat sandwhiches so we went to this cute cafe.
It ended up being Kelsey, Bernice, Kathleen and I for the rest of the day which was still really fun. We went to this chocolate shop where I bought homemade dark chocolate that was absolutely amazing! We just walked around York looking at all the different shops, and we went and saw the last remaining tower of a castle which was cool. At 5:30pm we went to the Final Battle of the Vikings.
The battle was really long, and my feet were killing me because we stood there for two hours watching vikings fight, a fire show, and finally the boat burning. Although it was long an extensive we definitely got our moneys worth and it was really neat. I mean honestly how often do you get to go to a Viking festival and see a boat burning? Exactly never haha.

We were going to go on a ghost tour but the battle ran too late, which I was kind of happy about. I don't really like that kind of thing and it was late at night so I didn't want to be thinking about that all night.
We were hoping since we were going to be leaving York earlier then expected that we could catch a bus back earlier but the next bust wasn't leaving until 10:08 and it was 8:20. Kathleen, Bernice, Kelsey and I decided to go find something to eat for dinner. We ended up eating at this Indian restaurant which was really good. Thankfully eating and talking, filled up most of our time that we had waiting for the bus.

Finally at around 11:30 we arrived back in Hull, and we were able to part ways and go home.
I was so exhausted and my feet were aching. I slept in this morning instead of doing my Jillian workout video, I definitely needed the sleep.

Now I must head off to church soon, in the cold snow =( hopefully it goes away soon!

As the Brits would say, "Cheers!"
