A British vacation (but I'm also going to Japan)

Anyways, time to go to York.

LNER first class was not bad!


They have different catering services, not sure which one this was, but not the good one!


So we only had the bacon roll.

Since we were only staying one night in York, I booked the Milner as it's directly connected to the train station.

The building was grand.


As were the stairs.


My room not so much


Bathroom looked to be from a different hotel, or just renovated


Note: in my room you could hear noises from platforms. No such problem for mother as her room facing a different direction.

The next day was going to rain, so I wanted to get the outdoor activities done first.

York City Walls.













I didn't walk all the walls as mother was waiting for me down there....but really loved it.
Especially the last photo which was taken somewhere close to the station.

York Minster was not easy to shoot....get too close and you are left with this


This was taken on Museum St,

Shambles was a bit disastrous though...


Very much prefer this random shot.


Clifford Tower, we didn't go in.

Dinner was at a French restaurant.

Rustique

Moules Marinieres a la Creme


Linguines aux crevettes et au crabe


Forgot to take a pic of the Tarte au Citron....everything was delicious!

Mother wanted a picture naturally, ended up with her and 100 others in it!

I was there in recent weeks, but your photos are superior. Well done.
