Trains,Jails and Vikings
Today we went to York.
We thought we'd go on the train instead of driving there. The kids were very excited, because it's not often they have a ride on a proper grown up train that actually goes somewhere, as opposed to going round in a circle.
First port of call in York was the National Railway Museum. With free admission, this is a must visit place, even if you haven't got the slightest bit of interest in trains.
After lunch,( a very reasonably priced meal in BHS restaurant), we wandered up Shambles then down Whip-ma Whop-ma gate and onto the Castle museum. Built on the site of a former jail, this was also an interesting place to visit although a bit pricey.
After an ice-cream, it was into the Jorvic Viking centre. A good experience but at £21 for the four of us, we felt we were shoved through a bit quickly. A bit like a conveyer belt.
A quick bite in rip-off Macdonalds then it was back to the railway station and home, tired, skint but happy.
