York 9 Aug and 10 Aug

因為Muriel的提醒, 我先從堆野中醒起要寫遊記呀, 寫返晒之前去Englang/Scotland既遊記呀....

呢兩日係york. book 左yha, 一出火車站就想搵左佢放低d野先. 好淆底, 一個人忽然間. 於是就係rail station買起左個city guide map...點知..哼!! 好廢呀!! 廢到嘔!!...一鎊?你本咁既野一鎊??

好在都係問路之下搵到yha, 然後就直衝去minster. 沿河走出city centre, 個景靚x100000000架. 狂影相呀~~ 其實york d街好靚的. 竟然係幾有dutch既feel. 可能係俾vikings入佔過. 搵到Minster啦. 對於我呢個Roman Catholic黎講, Minster 其實只係一個church. 不過佢d Stained Glass真係好靚好宏偉好fab. 之前未學過, 睇 Stained Glass 只係識睇pattern. 但今次我真係哄到好埋, 唔...有d係用enamel油既, 有d係用paint, 唔係條條線都係leaded的...唔....

Minster好就好在真係睇到york既history. 由medival times d romans, 到norman, 原來有好多歷史的. 英格蘭既cities 就係咁百花齊放, 每個都好有獨特既history, 亦都唔吝嗇於show out佢地個history同對果個地方既identity, 幾charming架~~

因為d街靚就忍唔住行街, 同買野係街度食. 哈. 遊下遊下, 見到坐好靚既building, 就係Merchant Adventurer's Hall, 好靚的, 佢個Medival Period既hall好靚, 好似置身係古代既york咁~ 係入面, 對以前english merchants 既生活可以較確切地想像一二....個pm有gown著的. 竟然有少少覺得有St. John's Feel...

行完呢個Hall都四點幾. 入唔切d museums啦, 呢度樣樣都要錢, 俾左錢入去未睇完就出返黎我唔制!! 咁就行街啦. 行行下行到去St. Mary's Church, 入面有個Installation "Breathing Space", Free Admission, 入去睇下...嘩嘩嘩...好似雲海呀...係上層望既話真係好似個church浮左上天咁...


然後去埋Monk's Bar, 沿住佢城牆走去bootham bar, 即較近yha果度...好正, 圍住個york行~~大york在我腳下~~~~~~~~~~~~真係係度打仗都ok果喎, 又唔危險又一覽無遺....


接著又閒逛....唔想咁快返hostel, 但又唔想使錢......慳妹. 所以只可以閒逛, 行街, 慢慢又沿河返yha, 睇佢個好fab既河景~~~~~~~~~~~~ 哇~~~~~~~~~~~~~!!


如果大家去York我真係highly recommended YHA YORK....個faciliteis超好, 位置唔錯, 又只需10鎊一晚, 仲包個勁豐富既早餐!! CONTINENTAL/ENGLISH Breakfast 任你揀!!! 好開心呀~ 好正呀~~~ 食飽飽出街啦~~~~~

是日總覺得時間太多, 只係想去fairfax house & vikings centre. 出門之前偷聽到人地講話要買Castle Howard飛. 好喎好似. 即刻睇書, 真係好似幾好. 不過唔係係york的, 要搭車出去. 於是就先街下公園, 睇下d教堂monuments, 再去tourist information 問幾點有車. 再係york 行下影下相, 搵到個vikings centre 覺得好似好人工咁唔想去lu....等到10點再去bus station, 去Castle Howard也, 盛惠五鎊大洋來回. 去到Castle Howard時竟然唔記得present張車飛, 有折架....哼!! 慳妹本色.

Castle Howard其實係一個有錢家族起的地方. 好靚架. 果然係有錢大家族既屋. 好宏偉. 個chapel既Stained glass 同d牆紙都係William Morris架~~豪到!! 仲有, 仲有好多名畫...仲有...仲有好多antiques...仲有...仲有好靚好大既花園~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~我買左本guide book. 遲d先同大家分享.....

個花園好大好大好靚...有個超級靚既rose garden......行到死左咁呀.........好攰呀~~~~ 行到攰死左咁~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 哎吔.... 好痛呀...唔得, 我俾左咁多錢入黎, 我一定要行晒佢hea晒佢...(慳妹)


攰死咁返去york. 趁未關門前就去fairfax house... Georgian House呀~~~ 好靚呀, 點解d有錢人d屋咁靚架.....下? 不過都係Castle Howard 靚d.

唔得, 我第時間屋都要William MOrris牆紙.... 仿真既都好呀.....勁靚靚靚~~~~~~~~~~~~x10000.
