21: Robin Hoods Bay then back to York

No cooked breakfast for us today given that there will be no serious walking - we have our figures to consider!  Cereal and toast only, then off down to the Dock to do the end of walk rituals of dipping your (preferably booted) toe into the waters of the North Sea and 'liberating' the pebble carried from St Bee's Beach.  Of course we also had to take a few group pics.

The walk might be over but there is still holidaying to be done - back up the hill, get our bags and off to the bus stop, where Fangio takes us the quickest trip between Robin Hoods Bay and Scarborough ever recorded. The bus is standing room only, full of poor old pensioners going shopping, and this guy is on the mobile to someone, driving the bus one handed at breakneck speeds - great fun!  Then an uneventful (by comparison) train trip to York. 

Spent the afternoon looking at York Minster (with a stained glass window the size of a tennis court), walking the city walls, visiting the Viking Centre and exploring The Shambles - York is a great city with lots to see and do.  We found a great little market in the middle of the old section of town featuring produce from Yorkshire - sampled some great artisan cheeses, hand made bread with butter made in front of us, smoked kippers and very delicious ice-cream made from rich yorkshire milk (probably from those fierce man-eating cows terrorising poor Pheebs).

Oh, and I saw a couple of good signs today....
