This was a relatively short day. I realised I'd been pounding pavements and cobblestones for at least 8 hours a day each day. My feet were starting to hurt. I visited the Jorvik centre (which had a sit down train like tour, Barley hall - which was a hands on museum - I put my butt on seats to read up on the rooms and went to the train museum to stroll around and eat dinner. They have an inside picnic area.
For lunch I had pork and crackling sandwich & viennese truffles from Thorntons chocolates for dessert. This is my most favourite chocolate of all time - or almost - they don't make the dark chocolate one anymore :(
There were some heavy downpours that i missed by being indoors during all of them. I did walk home in drizzle though (5:30pm)
one of the royal carriages - through a window
Jorvik centre. apparently they found fossilized human faeces while digging for viking archeology
these passageways are normal - not just a "didn't join the buildings" they are designed for foot passage
Barley hall...seats mmm
The river had risen somewhat - no sitting for me
The ruins of one of the church/monastery's that had been sacked. Probably by Henry the eighth - though I don't quite recall
