Day 89: Sunderland to Nottingham.

Big sleep in after a big night. Bacon sarnys on the run. Wild waves for a supposed summer. First stop was Middlesbrough. Went to Captain Cooks birthplace. Huge disappointment. Moved on to the amazing York. So many people had told us to go here. Walked through the gardens and I had the opportunity to hold some owls. Walked the old town city walls and visited the Harry Potter like Shambles street and market and the beautiful cathedral. Pub drinks and accommodation booked for Nottingham. At Leeds we drove past Headingly oval where crowds were arriving to watch the women’s 20/20. Visited the amazing Cistercian monks abbey. Along the motorway I realised Sherwood Forest was a real place. Graham was astounded at me. In Nottingham we had our very first hiccup. Accomodation apparently not booked. Booking.com’s fault. They gave us an extra $50 to spend but we still had to do the groundwork. Drank at a pub with a secret cave. Ended up with an accommodation win 5kms down the road.Read more
