Day 46 - York II

Outside our nice and quaint B&B.

Yorkminster, one of the largest minster in forgot where. There are so many things in UK that lay claims to be the largest or tallest or whatsoever that I've become cynical about it. Tallest waterfall in UK, tallest waterfall in England, tallest waterfall in my toilet bowl, largest discharge in UK, largest discharge in England, largest discharge in my sink, biggest abbey in UK, biggest abbey in England, biggest in terms of materials used in UK, biggest in terms of materials used in England biggest in terms of volume in England, biggest in terms of.....you get my drift on why I've become cynical to these claims. But hey, it's a really beautiful building.

After I took this shot, Nardev was about to take one, in which a lady told him that it is not allowed during service.

A statue of Constantine (The Roman Emperor lah! Not the comic book character portrayed by Keana Reeves)

Beautiful sight

But we have to spoil it with a group photo. haha.

We proceed to take a walk on the old city wall.

It took us around most of old York. And we joked of walking it again, this time, inside the wall, outside the wall......

National Railway Museum. Highly rated. And boy are we impressed.

I wish you were here, but the sign thinks that I'm the Station Hall.

Nardev attempted to do a Titanic. A lady came. Thought she would tell us off, but she just told us to be careful not to slip off with a smile. How nice!

See if you could spot the accidental smile on the train.

I just find this very funny and cute.

We took a ride on this old steam train.

Totoron missed his stop on the bullet train.

Nardev was super apologetic about the trip, but hey. It aren't his fault that these sights were a little over hyped. York is nice, it's beautiful, but for people who lived or have seen Cambridge, York aren' much different. But it was a good trip for us to recharge and gather. :)
