Day 23 York, UK

Another long travelling day as we left our Dublin hotel at 6 30 am to catch our 9 20 am flight, only to find it delayed by two hours. We finally left Dublin at 11 45. We find Aer Lingus a very interesting airline. The flight attendant of which there were two, was at one point running down the aisle to shut the doors and then he and the other older female attendant were taking selfies behind us while waiting for the plane to start moving. Interesting that the passengers had been told not to use their phones to photograph the flight attendants! We finally arrived in Newcastle where there was no direction or path marked our for how to get into the terminal! Consequently we were then relieved to see our suitcases on the conveyer belt. To top it off we dealt with a cowboy at the rental car portacom so we’re pleased to get on the road by 1 30. The drive south was around the outside of Newcastle and Middlesbrough and then towards York. The only highlight was passing the Angel of the North . We had one stop in a lovely town called Yarm to visit a farm shop and pick up some supplies. It was an interesting place as it has a high viaduct for a train running through it. The rest of the journey was in rain with Alanna giving David very clear instructions on how to exit roundabouts in order to reach our destination, The Piglets Air B n B. It is beautiful accomodation with a rural outlook even though it is only 50 mins walk to the city and a bus runs from the gate. We have 5 days here so plenty of time to relax and also explore Yorkshire.Meer informatie
