... 15 years. Lucky there was a route back though the viking village!! So glad! <br><br>The major highligh for both Noma and Chezza was the perfectly preserved Viking poo! Rather large viking poo too! Sometimes it's like being with 2 little kids! <br><br>We then headed off to the York Minster. A truely wonderful gothic cathedral. It's actually Nothern Europes largest gothic cathedral ...

Hard Rock Cafe to complement her earlier purchases in Cardiff and Edinburgh, but we became frustrated with the pre-Christmas lunch-time rush in the city centre, the heavy traffic, the complicated one way street system and a succession of completely full multi-storey car parks. <br><br> With the dicey conditions making for a slippery drive down the M1, I left Ali not far outside Nottingham, where she was to spend Christmas with her ...

... in the shape of a diamond with a stunning blue stone (I think it's a sapphire) at the top of it. I'm not much for jewelry; but, this was an impressive piece. <br><br>After the museum, we headed over to York Minster. This visit was my third to this inspiring building.

... that we had to be out by 10 a.m. We asked the proprietor if we could have another hour before we had to check out. She agreed to our request. We headed off to the cathedral.<br> <br>Only one word comes to mind when I think of Durham Cathedral: BIG! This structure appeared to be the biggest cathedral that I've seen.
