A Castle, the Coast, and a Cathedral.

So, I know I haven't posted, but it's only because I've been out exploring England. Sorry.

This weekend we all went on a trip to Warwick, Whitby, and York. We left on Thursday morning, and went to Warwick Castle. It was very cool, and very castle-like. I climbed so many stairs that day, probably like a thousand. Not even joking. I climbed to the highest castle hill, both of the castle towers, and to the tower of the church in town (where Robert Dudley is buried). So after a few hours there, we continued on in the bus for almost 4 hours before getting to Whitby, right on the coast next to the North Sea. It was very pretty. I got some Whitby Jet earrings, some fresh fish and chips, enjoyed the shops, museums, and the pier, but we didn't get to go to the Captain Cook museum, or the pottery shop, or a boat ride, or a lot of other things because they were closed for much of the winter.

Our hostel in Whitby was four stars, and absolutely wonderful. It was also right outside of the Whitby Abbey ruins, which were beautiful, and made me imagine what they must have looked like intact.

After spending Thursday and Friday night in Whitby, we left early Saturday morning to head to York. There we saw the wonderful York Minster (I'm not sure if that's one word or not) Cathedral. It was so magnificent. After that we wandered around York for a while, and almost went to some museums, but they were too expensive. And after a few hours in York, we made the 4-5 hour bus ride back home. It was a wonderful trip, lots and lots of fun, and charming as well.
