York ♥

YORK  16 June 2012

My first ever trip in UK which organized by Hallam Union.

It was really cold and it started to drizzle once we reached there. Hence, we decided to go shopping first XD

We were just happened to pass by this cafe and wondering why there was a long queue outside the cafe. The British told us that it is a must to spend your tea time over here and proudly tell others that you had your tea in Betty's Cafe and Tea Room (National Winner - Baker of the year 1989)

This is a lovely place to for you to spend your tea time with your great friends ! Besides that, the tea and cakes there taste really good ! I am missing them already......

See ! The long queue out there !

Me & K shared the scones tea set which cost us  £8.50 ; my friends had the afternoon tea set which cost  £17.80.

I understand that it is quite expensive when you convert it back to RM ! But, how many times are you going to spend your tea time in Betty's Cafe? I will always remember that I had the greatest tea time in York when I am studying in UK :)

Me & K

The one day "rich lady" (贵妇)

It drizzle and stop, then drizzle again for the whole day ! Very very cold...... The so called "summer" in the UK.

Spotted a nice place and then tried to take as many photos as we can :) haha

Was holding umbrella for almost the whole day! *Umbrella is the MUST bring thing in UK because the weather is so unpredictable*

On the way to National Railway Museum
Signature pose of the day !
*This picture always make me laugh*

National Railway Museum 

The world's largest railway museum ! *Free Entrance* 

We were so excited to be there as this was the first time in my entire life to see so many different type of trains, which include old and new trains ! 

Too tired to walk ! 

City Walls, our next stop !

2000 years in 2.5 miles, it encloses an area of 263 acres !

This is simply the wall surrounding the York City and I personally feel that it is a wall where every soldiers were standing there to defend the enemies and protect the citizens ! *Watch too many movies* Hehe 

Hi from the top of the walls !

The pathway is so narrow and you have to be careful, especially during the rainy day as people come from two ways ! 

Then, we headed to Clifford's Tower

It is one of the most popular attractions in York ! It set on a tall mound in the heart of Old York, this imposing tower is almost all that remains of York Castle, which was originally built by William the Conqueror. 

This was our last stop before we headed back to Sheffield ! Because we had to board the bus on time if not the bus drivers would leave us in York ! 

We didn't pay for the entrance fees and went inside due to the time constraint. The entrance fees is around £3.40 for students.

It was a regret for not visiting the Clifford's Tower as we missed the chance to see the stunning panoramic views from the top of Clifford's Tower ! 

No doubt, I enjoyed my very first trip in UK although the weather is bad !
After all, York is really a nice place not to be missed !!!
