Nadia's Birthday in York

For Nadia's 28th birthday a group of us headed to York. York is best known for its linkages back to Roman times with many of the original structures still standing today. Surrounding the city is the original fortress wall which is still 70% in tact which you can walk around.
Above- trying our hardest to win 'token tourists' of the year award posing in the York train station, we only narrowly missed out the award to the Japanese tourists photographing York Minster. From left Nadia, Clark, Julia, Casey, Jo & Cam

Nadia exits- 'the wall'
York is home to 'Betty's' which is a famous tea room, even though we were only there for 48 hours, I think we managed to clock up 3 trips to 'Betty's' or some spin off of 'Betty's' - 'Little Betty's' etc. The food was very good but if I never see another Betty's tea rooms again I will be happy.
Whilst in York we did a 'ghost tour' the fact that this picture was the scariest thing to come out of the tour should tell you something.

York was cool but I think 'New' York will top this trip- roll on Easter for that one!
