Day 12 May 30

Does anyone recognize this place? Lyme Park also know as Pemberly in Pride and Prejudice where Mr. Darcy (Colin Firth) lives. We left our hotel and came here. The weather was miserabley windy and cold. The grounds here were beautiful (and yes this picture is from our camera)




It was so cold and windy I zipped the baby into my sweater.

After we left we drove to York. Where we went to the Jorvik Viking Center and walked up to Clifford's Tower.

Clifford's Tower is a castle on top of a hill. This is a view from the top.

There were some ducks around the tower. This one liked to pose.

Clifford's Tower.

A walk down the Shambles.

Kevin made friends with a pigeon.

Being Sunday, everything closed by 5, including stores. So we walked and looked around. The shops closed and the night life began. There were bouncers and night clubs everywhere. They had even turned an old church into a nightclub. Aunt Thelma recommended we eat at a Restaurant called Betty's, but when we got there the line was out the door. I did go in and buy a Stem Ginger cake that was excellent. So for dinner we randomly asked a bouncer if there was any good Indian restaurants around and he recommended one that was excellent. We then joined a Ghost Tour for about 15 minutes and then left to go to our Hotel on the outskirts of York.
