It began at 4.30am Monday morning, it ended about 9.00pm Monday night.
I must have ate a bad pizza or as dad has stated I am on the "Yorkshire 7 day diet".
After a full day in bed and being sick I (Lauren) am finally better.
Yesterday we went into Barnsley for the day... and finally we have started buying ourselves things. Some of you would be pleased to know Kristian has FINALLY bought himself a new pair of shoes.... a miracle has happened!
We had a further look around Barnsley that day and bought some more bits and pieces but it felt good to finally spend money, as weird as it sounds. After spoiling ourselves, and having my (Kristian) 13th slushie for the trip, we went to a little place that just out of wakefield that had an aquaduct that was used as the model for the design of the Sydney Harbour Bridge and suprisingly it had some very good similarities. I'll try and post a picture but I think I only had taken video of the bridge but I'll find a way to get a picture.
So today we went off to York which is about an hours drive from where we are staying at the moment, although with michael schumacher at the wheel, it was an exhilirating drive. York is a very Ye Olde historic town but has some beautiful laneways and scenery to take in. We started by walking around the city walls that lead into the main district after driving around in circles for 30 minutes looking for somewhere to park. We will post a few photos hopefully of the laneways in York to show you what they were like with most buildings still standing from the 1400's.

After having a look around we went up Clifford Castle which was situated, like most castles, high above the city so as you would assume once you climbed to the top is was quite a distance above the ground with a nice view of the city. I should have known from the Petronas towers in Malaysia that Lauren would freeze in fear, but I had forgotten. So the moment we got to the top all i heard was a squeal and 'I want to go down, I dont like this, I want to go down! ect'. It was a good looking castle and you were actually allowed to go to the very top which was really exciting.

We had a further look around York after the castle, had a pint at the Guy Fawkes Inn (which was a massive highlight for me as my favourite movie is based on him) then decided to do a ghost tour which we were told was more humorous then scary. It started by a tour guide stealing £5 from us all then led us round to various locations around the city where there had been previous ghost sightings. But the highlight of the tour was when the tour guide wanted to have a bit of fun with us, so he walked us across the road to a restaurant and pretended to tell us a ghost story and on his mark got the whole group of 50 people to wave at the people in the restaurant. As soon as we got a wave back he walked us across the road to directly infront of the restaurant and got everyone to pull a face at everyone in the restaurant while they were eating. Most people laughed and got a chuckle out of it apart from this one women who was not very impressed and glared everyone down that stared into the window. Not happy JAN!

So that was basically what happened in the last couple of days, I tried to write a blog last night but it stuffed up and I lost it so this one has been kind of long.
We will try and post another tomorrow after we head out to Xscape which is an indoor entertainment complex that even had a snow slope so we are excited.
So have fun at work everybody because we are going to bed now because its 11pm at night.
Speak to you later,
Kristian and Lauren
PS. Its Krstian, dad if you can send me an email whenever your free because I have your email address but im not sure if it has changed or if I have it correct so if you could email me soon I can reply to you.
