Our adventures in the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus continue....
 
Joan and I went off for a day in York all by ourselves. This allowed Bill and Margaret to get on with some of their own personal things and us some extra time to visit some things we missed on Saturday.
First we went to York Minster again because Joan had not been inside at all. We found the choir area known as the Quire and also a military chapel. This was in fact dedicated to a Yorkshire Regiment,
but I don't think that our friend Jeff would mind that, so we sat and thought about him for some time and the nasty treatment he is having to have for his cancer. We spent further time looking around the rest of the Minster and saw a dragon high up in the roof area. Apparently it is some sort of manually operated crane, for lifting the very heavy lid offf the font below. The font has long been moved so there has not been naybody up on the roof leaning on the extended end of the dragon for many years.
From the Minster we went around some of the tourist shops that are everywhere and then found oursleves down by the Cornish Pasty shop at lunch time. We stood in the street eating one of those and watching a very good street entertainer before finding a lovely old pub called The Three Tuns that had 4 guest ales on at a very good price, pitty I was driving!
Back to Harrogate for around 5 p.m. and an evening in with Bill and Margaret.
