    Jorvick Viking Experience

    May 26, 2019 in England ⋅ ⛅ 18 °C

    We enjoyed the town again as we walked through from the minster to the Jorvick Viking experience... surprising enough their were three different Viking characters named Rodney!!! Ok, just kidding, but the staff was great in period pieces. It was Avery neat exhibit with Tay finally getting her ride and getting to see part of the excavated city under a plexiglass floor. We also saw a ton of Viking paraphernalia including swords, jewelry, skeletons (with a breakdown of what their bones said about them) and even some petrified human poop! KK wast entirely convinced that it was human as she was pretty sure it would split a person in half, but the scientists were pretty sure! We came out after the tour to some beautiful sunshine and a cool breeze. From there Denise was itching for something to chew on as we started a trek to Keswick in the Lake District. She was determined we wouldn’t do the “skip lunch as we’ll get to the next place shortly” routine I had pulled after Windsor. We stopped at a Tesco Express, a NCR customer I might add, and got some sandwiches, chips and soda for the road. Fifteen minutes later, we were off, Keswick here we come!Read more
