Travelogue: York

To start Easter break, my friends and I went to Newcastle to take a break from the busy London. On Monday, we took a day trip to York - since we're closer and cheaper to go from than London.

The Shambles.

This narrow lane used to be full of butchers shops and houses. The name was derived from an old Anglo-Saxon word, "Shammel", which means shelves (if I'm not mistaken). Butchers would hung the fresh meat in front of the shops to be sold everyday in the past time. Some of the actual hooks still exist in front of these houses. 

We arrived quite late, it was around 2pm when we got there. Headed straight to the city centre, and I love it already! It's a nice town with heavy castle remains left.

Samples of teas

I'm more of a coffee person but this tea shop (that I totally forgot to note the name) makes me want to buy the teas after sniffing almost every sample they have.. 

That's all that I've got. I'm really bad at documenting my travel cus I'm too busy discovering stuffs and just get distracted after a few seconds finding another more.. xP 

Til next time?

xo,
