England!

In the past few days I have been neglecting to actually write about what I have been doing all over central and southern England.
Play grounds of death!
York
York Minster 
After we left London we headed north to Cambridge because my Dad wanted to see the architecture in the colleges and also go punting in the river that ran through the town and past the colleges. But after some research it was almost 50 dollars to go "punt" around a river in boats that are like the ones they make in a few hours in the Pender Harbour "April Tools" race. After moving on from Cambridge we headed to York but stopped in a city called Leeds because York would be an expensive tourist trap. From what we saw in Leeds it looked like a creepy ghost town. The next day we drove the 20 minutes to York to see the castle there but it was almost 10 dollars for each of us to see the inside so we looked at from the outside. After the castle being a bust we walked to the church but of course you have to pay way to much to see the inside. So once again we looked at it from the outside, though we did get to see inside the entrance. After some considering we decided to head south instead of driving up to Scotland because we would just have to turn around a day later to return our car. So we just drove back to the hotel we stayed at the night before. That night my dad booked our tickets at Stonehenge for the next day. The next day we drove to Stonehenge. From the pictures you see in movies its not really that big and monumental, for me at least.





Yoda!
