York. Dick not Dwight

The problem with shopping in the morning and then doing the afternoon tour around York is the amount of newly purchased books you have to carry around. Books be heavy.

We had missed the early tour as our over zealous Europcar official had claimed we had damaged the car. We couldn't see the damage even as he was pointing to it. We explained that at pick up they had waved us away with additional scratches etc that we were reporting. Anyway, we missed the 1015 walk so spent some more money on books. I fear that many, even those not bought by me, are for me. I wonder if I can give Annette a Christmas present of "I will take you to England 3 months ago".

The walking tour was good and free. I also found out from an angry volunteer in an op shop that the 5 pound notes I was using were old currency.

We returned to our accom, realised that books are heavy and that we have to also pack them and headed out for the evening.  I chose Drake's chips, sausage and curry.  I had finished eating by the time Annette finally got her roast roll. We completed the evening with a ghost tour which was not at all scary, so that was both good and bad news. Editor's note: I still enjoyed the ghost tour as it was all about fun story telling.
