Walking part of the holiday is over. Now a bus ride to Manchester, a night there, and then a train ride to London on Tuesday.

Planned on picking up Sharon at 7:30 from the hospital then taxi to the bus with the group.

However, another day in the hospital. Breathing not recovered enough to leave.

I booked a hotel in Skipton for the night and the plan is to go to London via Leeds tomorrow. 

              

Above is the church, of course there is a church

It is attached to the castle. The oldest (1090) fully intact, medieval castle.

Steep stairs, cold rooms, nothing charming, and one royal after the other remodeling changing rooms -this reminds me of other castles and palaces. Never satisfied with the way it is architectured. Add a room add a wing, change the color, etc..

Certainly not comfortable place as you will see further on as well.

Did not take pictures of the narrow winding steps that needed handrails to go up and down. Stone steps, of course. treacherous if you live there.

All in all, I like my room in the small boutique hotel far better.
