We tried hard to take full advantage of our time in York because unfortunately we arrived late afternoon and we had to get a bus back to London the next morning. So most of the afternoon and early evening was spent walking around the old town, the shopping district, and taking as many photos of old castles as we could.
We'd read that York rivals Edinburgh as the second best sight-seeing city (after London) in the UK and we could see why. We read up on a bit of the history of the city - the northern most city in the Roman empire where merchants had to pay taxes to enter the city walls, which parts of still stand. So we took photos of it!

The city seemed quite nice and if we'd had another night we probably would have been better tourists and done a bus tour and visited some of the castles, but we just didn't have the time. We may go back and visit.
The only crazy part about our trip to York was that on our way back into London our bus just happened to stop in front of a random Pizza Hut where our mates Jay, Hitch, and Mika had decided to stop for some lunch. So in a city of 7 million people, we still managed to run into our fellow Aussie travellers - brilliant!
