The Swan Whisperer went for a run this morning. He thinks - but wouldn't swear to it - that he saw the current Archbishop doing the same thing. Anyway, after breakfast we set off and drive to Rawcliffe Bar Park and Ride and got the bus into York, where we spent a very happy morning wandering around the Old Town.
You had to have booked to go into the Minster and it is £12 a head, so we didn't, but went into St Michael-le-Belfry next door, instead. We thought about visiting the chocolate museum just by where we stopped for coffee, but again it was £12 and we had no idea whether it would have been worth it or not. One place we would have liked to have visited was the Jorvik centre, but they had nothing free until mid-afternoon and when we went hopefully past to see if there had been a cancellation, the queues were very long, so obviously not.
So we had an earlyish lunch of crepes in the Shambles market, and then wandered back to the bus stop, buying an ice-cream en route.
As we were not planning on a long drive today and it was early, we decided to go via Scarborough, quite a long way out of the way, but it was really very splendid, especially as it was pouring with rain! An English seaside resort at its best!
The SW made himself a coffee to keep himself awake, he said. I cannot help but wonder why it keeps him awake mid-afternoon, but not when he drinks it after supper!
Anyway, be that as it may, we had a lovely drive over the Yorkshire moors, dank and misty, but were disappointed to have bypassed Whitby. Eventually we arrived here, at Seaham, where we are parked up, along with several other motor homes, in a huge car park above the North Sea. The SW has gone on a hunt for fish and chips.
