Tuesday started with a great breakfast, the food was great and we met others staying there. a couple that had visited N.Z and German bloke who lives in Italy. Before we knew it time had ticked away, so off we went heading for Bury St Edmunds and then onto the Anglo Saxon village in the middle of nowhere in a place called "West Stow".  Not quite what we expected but interesting never the less, more of an educational facility to investigate the how, who, when where and whys of Anglo Saxon life. Some absolutely amazing finds during their excavations as it is an actual village site. Our journey was to take approx 5 hours and along the way we drove through such delights as "Upwell" "Outwell" and "Sibsey" not to mention "Great Limber". Our plotted route worked wonderfully thanks to the stellar map reading skills of co pilot Jacs ! and took us over the "Humber bridge", straight into York and almost the door of "Barbican House" our B&B for 2 nights, which is right outside the "Walmgate section of the wall and entry into the centre of York .  Today we are off to explore York camera in hand, more updates tomorrow.
