Wednesday, July 25th - York

Another great day in England!

 The Tour met at the Timperley Club this morning at 8 AM and took a coach to York. It was about a 2 hour drive with a quick stop at a rest area to use the loo. Upon our arrival in York, we found parking for the coach and walked through the old city to the Jorvic Center. The Jorvic Center is a educational experience about the Viking inhabitants of York in the early 1000's. After that, the kids spent the afternoon exploring the Shambles, which is the old village of York. Some of the groups had an fun session of picture scavenger hunt...I'll let them explain...and others went to climb the Minster Cathedral's 270 steps.

Around 4 PM, we made our way back to the coach and started for home in Timperley. The motorway was closed due to a fender bender, so we took the back roads home. A quick 2 hour excursion on the motorway turned into a 4 hour cruise home through the beautiful countryside of England. You might want to ask about the Little Chef stop.
