Day 3
Up around 08:00 again and walk into the city after showers and brekkie - aiming to be first in the queue for the York Dungeon, only one problem it doesn't open till 10:00 so we decide to walk up to the Cathedral.
I go up the tower but as it's 275 steps Tina declines and waits for me at the bottom. When I return we tour the cathedral and undercroft - all very interesting - originally built on a Roman temple.
Time for a coffee and a cake so we find a small cafe for refreshments and once refueled walk back to the Dungeon and queue for about 40 minutes for what I must say is a particularly disappointing walk through some dark rooms - also v. expensive - tho' fortunately our York Pass covers the cost and with everything else we've done makes it a bit cheaper - but definitely not a value for money attraction.
Not wishing to walk around looking for somewhere to have lunch we choose an Italian just across the street. On first appearance it 'sells itself' as an independent family restaurant, which has expanded with a couple of other restaurants in London. We find out on our trip to London that it is actually part of a chain. Anyway the food was acceptable.
To finish off I go and buy a cornish pastie for Tina's dinner whilst she goes for the obligatory trip to Lakeland.
Then its back to Hymie, tho later there are fireworks to end the York festival that's been on all weekend.
Up and home tomorrow looking forward to next months trip to Londonium.
