Day 2.
Up early - 08:00'ish and shower and breakfast and then walk up to the castle museum. Doesn't open till 09:30 so we had to wait a short while.
This really is a fabulous museum and we spend several hours here, having originally intended to finish by 11:00 and then go for brunch.
It's nearer to midday when we finish so we go for a 'lunfast', Tina has the full cooked and I have poached eggs and bacon - on wonderful freshly baked toasted bread.
After 'lunfast' we head for the Jorvik centre but the queues are horrendous so we go and purchase Tina a raincoat - very fashionable and then walk up through the shambles - quaint narrow original old street.
We then take the open top bus tour and then go for a mid afternoon drink and then on to the Jorvik centre and still have to queue but it's much shorter as it is near closing time.
The display was much shorter than I remember - oh well.
We decide that we should go for a drink and then dinner and after discounting two possible restaurants - one not open and one where the menu wasn't anything special we end up at the Biltmore for cocktails and people watching.
It's about 17:00 and as it's Friday the place is quite busy with people leaving work early for a pre-weekend drink. Tina has a couple of champagne cocktails and I have a couple of vodka based ones.
Then we go upstairs to the galleried restaurant that overlooks the bar for dinner and a bottle of wine, oh and more people watching as the owners seem to have their three kids at the bar and everyone is trying not get annoyed with them!
Very good food, though Tina doesn't finish her ribeye and asks for a doggy bag, which after a little resistance they do provide - slight concern that Tina may not re-heat it properly and catch something nasty.
Despite being a little merry and having walked for miles around York I encourage Tina to walk back - which under due protest she does.
