After our 20 minute sleep, we got up, woke Lyle, who was sleeping in a puddle of spew... Then headed downstairs to wait for him to get up. I had been quite clear we needed to leave by 5.30 at the latest, but Lyle was still mucking around in the toilets doing who-knows-what... Probably spewing... So Darren yelled in the door that we were leaving, and he came out. We checked out, and walked down to the tube, Lyle trudging behind us. We topped up our Oyster card, an...

"The whole point of having a conversation is so we can take the ****..." - Frank Franky Francis After waking up super tired we decided to meet up with Amy later than we had planned originally. When we were finally up and ready, we met her at the bar downstairs and all went down to the tube together and got a train to embankment.

When we walked through that room, we went on a ride, where you sit in ...

This morning we got up and got ready. Darren and I were still feeling pretty ******, but got some paracetamol into us, and toughened up. We walked down by the Minster where the meeting spot for the York free walking tour was. We waited there for a bit for the tour to start, and when it did, our guide was pretty cool! He had this long hair and massive bushy beard, and he was wearing boardies! Not what you expect a tour guide to look like! But when he started talki...
