Get some York on your Fork

York is an amazing place full of history and wonderfully old buildings. Brett and I stayed in a youth hostel and participated in a night time walking ghost tour. It was quite interesting as the director recounted real facts and stories from times gone by and narrated eye witness accounts of spooky events that have occurred since. The last being around 18 months ago at the excavated Viking site. This morning we headed to the site and learnt about the viking people and saw some of the archeological finds from that spot in the middle of town. It was pretty surreal to be under the city in the exact spot where the artefacts were found. They have shoes from the Viking times as well combs to get live out of their hair, weapons and other cool stuff- randomly they even had some preserved human faeces; amazing I know lol. It is such an amazing city, I have fallen in love with it; quaint buildings all once contained within castle walls, some of the walls are still standing today! Amazing place!
