To York!

You know, I don’t mind getting lost driving around. After all, it does take us down some interesting paths.

What I can’t stand is not having the correct address for the final destination at the end of the day. Spending an extra hour each day trying to figure out if the GPS or the guide book (or both) is playing silly buggers with me is infuriating.

I did a fair walk around a War of the Roses battle site in the morning (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Towton). We drove to York to find something but saw a tyre shop instead. We ordered a new tyre but it wouldn't be delivered until 3 pm so we went searching for the night's stay but the address was ridiculous.

We finally found it but it wasn’t up to Dee’s standard, so we went looking for a caravan park but the cheapest was 25 pounds. After spending most of the afternoon trying to find a launderette and a caravan park, we waited an extra 1 1/2 hours for the tyre to be put on. I went walking on the walls of York and Dee and Gene went shopping.

Tomorrow, we visit the Jorvik Centre (http://jorvik-viking-centre.co.uk/) the Train museum and head further north.
