Easter Friday

 We had the morning free this Easter Friday so we walked up through Russell Square to the Brunswick Centre, bought cold tablets and sandwiches at Sainsburys, ate breakfast, walked to the British Museum and lined up to get in. It turns out thousands of people were headed to the BM. Maybe not much else was open. 

We spent some time with old clocks, Sumerians and Lewis chess pieces but we were pretty tired already. 

A cabbie en route to King's Cross told Lyn all about "The Knowledge", the gruelling process of getting a cab licence in London. It turns out that all London cabbies are self employed.  Lyn said, "So you get to decide when you work." He replied, "No, the wife does!"

Then we caught the train to York. We walked from the station, past the city walls and through the Micklegate, to our apartment. 

The last task for two very tired travellers was grocery shopping. We'll properly explore tomorrow.
