York & Last Day in London
10.01.2011 - 10.03.2011
We said goodbye to Aileen at our B&B and got the train to York. We came into town on a very busy weekend with no reservation, and were lucky enough to secure a room through the Tourist Information Center. We got some dinner and a pint at another Wetherspoons location, and walked through the medieval walled city of York to the massive cathedral called "The Minster."
On our second day in York we went back to "The Minster" and visited the inside after the church service was over. Then we joined a great two and a half hour tour of York led by a local volunteer. It was a very enlightening and informative tour which included stops at the Monastery ruins, the Roman and medieval walls and bars, Roman sarcophagi, the Minster, and the Shambles, which is the most visited street in all of Europe.
Had a delicious dinner and boarded the train next day for London Heathrow. After checking in our room at the Premier Inn near Heathrow Airport, we decided to take the train back into central London for one last look, coming full circle back to where we started four weeks earlier. We walked the streets, had dinner, said our goodbyes to Big Ben, and took the train back to our hotel for our last night of a great vacation!
